The SUNY Cortland women's ice hockey team will be holding its sixth annual Make-A-Wish® charity game on Friday, Feb. 13, 2026, when the Red Dragons host Buffalo State at 3 p.m. in a SUNYAC game. The event will support Make-A-Wish® Central New York.

Fans can show the community their support for the charity in a number of ways, including:

* Bidding on limited edition Make-A-Wish®/Red Dragon charity game-worn jerseys, with all proceeds going directly to the Make-A-Wish® Central New York Chapter  (Jersey Auction Web Page). The auction will run through 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 22.

* Becoming a donor - When you donate to Make-A-Wish® you're giving children renewed strength to fight their illnesses, bringing families closer together and uniting entire communities. You can change lives! 

* Participating and encouraging others to attend the game

ON GAME DAY:
* Last chance to enter to win raffle items from the game-day auction
* Making a cash donation
* Purchasing a Make-A-Wish® star and/or bracelet
* Purchase tickets to win other prizes

The Red Dragons hope to reach their goal of raising $2,000 this season. Thanks to passionate supporters like you, Make-A-Wish® shines a light of hope for children fighting critical illnesses when they need it most. Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses during their darkest days. Whether you are an individual donor, corporate sponsor, fundraising advocate or volunteer, your generous support transforms lives, one wish at a time.
