RSDM Students Face Off with Future M.D.s at Charity Hockey Game April 22

Rutgers School of Dental Medicine will play a charity hockey game against New Jersey Medical School at 7 p.m. April 22 to raise money for Veterans Affairs New Jersey Health Care System. The eighth RSDM vs. NJMS Charity Hockey Game begins at 7 p.m. at the RWJ Barnabas Health Hockey House practice rink at the Prudential Center, 25 Lafayette Street in Newark. The Rutgers University Air Force ROTC Color Guard will perform the national anthem. Since 2003, the event has raised more than $80,000 to support various charities, including Hurricane Sandy victims, pediatric cancer family support/research, and international dental surgery mission trips. Proceeds from the 2022 game will support VA New Jersey Health Care System, which includes the East Orange VA Medical Center, Lyons VA Medical Center, and clinics across New Jersey that provide health care to veterans. Each player is asked to donate at least $20 on the GoFundMe page. (Players need to list their full name and position for the team rosters.) Fans coming to see the game can donate at the door or on the GoFundMe site. Raffle tickets for a chance to win various gift baskets will be sold during the game. Questions?
