The players and officials wore pink and the jerseys were auctioned after the game, raising $16,175 for the aforementioned non-profit organizations. Additionally, a portion of ticket proceeds was collected along with donations at the game, totaling $9,135.

During the first intermission, Checkers owner Michael Kahn surprised Go Jen Go founder Jen Pagani with a check for $25,000 for her foundation. For more information on Jen and her story, visit www.gojengo.org.
