JOHNSTOWN, Pa. – The Johnstown Chiefs announced today that they will be holding fundraisers at two of their remaining home games to benefit one of Johnstown's greatest players.

In an effort to assist with costs associated with his stay in the hospital the Chiefs will be raffling off a pair of special jerseys. On March 28 fans can purchase tickets to win a Galen Head replica Jets jersey while on April 3 an authentic, autographed Sidney Crosby jersey will be up for grabs. Raffle tickets can be purchased individually for five dollars or in groups of six for $20. All proceeds from the jersey raffles will benefit Mr. Head, and fans wishing to make cash donations will be able to at all remaining home games.
Mark your calendars! The Chiefs return to home ice on Friday, March 26 against the Toledo Walleye at 7:05. The Chiefs will be wearing special U.S. Marines themed jerseys for one night only.
