Wasylk’s Shirsey’s Sale to Benefit Suffolk CARES

PURCHASE A WASYLK SHIRSEY HERE 

LAKE PLACID, N.Y. – Taylor Wasylk, Suffolk women's hockey head coach, and one of the newest members of the Buffalo Beauts of the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL), has a plan for her portion of the proceeds of her shirseys sales, donate them to Suffolk CARES. 

Wasylk, who headed to Lake Placid, New York, on Saturday, Jan. 23 to join the Beauts in the two-week long whubble (women's hockey bubble) is granted 15 percent of every shirsey, a t-shirt that replicates a jersey, sale with her name on the back. Instead of pocketing the profit, Wasylk has decided to give back to her Ram Nation roots and give her portion of the profits to Suffolk CARES, which works collaboratively with students and their families, faculty, staff and other campus resources to provide support for students through a variety of challenges they may encounter, while at Suffolk. 

Suffolk CARES assists students in finding the best resources for their individual needs and empowers students to advocate for themselves so that they may remain personally and academically successful. Suffolk CARES consists of a combination of resources and programs managed by the director of student outreach and support. Resources include, but are not limited to Case Management, Suffolk CARES Pantry, Food Insecurity Grants, and Emergency Funding Grants. 

"I am immensely proud to partner with Suffolk CARES and provide support to students in need on our campus," Wasylk said. "Suffolk University does a tremendous job in assisting our community and the CARES team works tirelessly to ensure that our students facing food insecurity are cared for. It is an honor to be a small part of something so inspiring on our campus." 

Since her arrival in Beacon Hill, Wasylk has been an advocate for Suffolk CARES. In May, she spearheaded Suffolk's effort in Under Armour's Though This Together campaign, a week-long online t-shirt sale in which the Rams raised over $1,300 to benefit the University's organization. 

Fans can purchase their Wasylk shirsey for $25.50 here. 

Wasylk is set to make her Beauts debut this Wednesday, Jan. 27 when Buffalo takes on the Metropolitan Riveters at 8:30 p.m. at Herb Brooks Arena. Fans can watch the contest and the entire NWHL regular-season on Twitch. 

Two games into the whubble the Beauts look to snap a two-game skid after dropping an overtime 2-1 decision to Connecticut Whale in the opener and a 5-1 decision to the Boston Pride Sunday night.
