“Face-Off Against Kids Cancer” is a program that pairs RoadRunners’ players with 20 children from across Arizona who suffer from pediatric cancer. Throughout the season, the players and children participate in a series of social events with the hopes of creating a lasting relationship and increased awareness about childhood cancer in the community. Since the program’s inception in 2006-07, the RoadRunners have raised a total of $29,400 in the fight against pediatric cancer. Originated by the Mississippi Sea Wolves Hockey Club of the ECHL in 2003 and later duplicated by both the Atlantic City (N.J.) Boardwalk Bullies Hockey Club and the Fresno Falcons Hockey Club of the ECHL, “Face-Off Against Kids Cancer” has touched hundred of lives and raised thousands of dollars in the fight against cancer. The RoadRunners would also like to recognize and thank Dad's Catering, the Phoenix Zoo, Cold Stone Creamery, the Alltel Ice Den, XP Events, Evolution Custom Cycles, and Peter Piper Pizza for their support of the "Face-Off Against Kids Cancer".
