KENNEWICK, Wash. -- It was a successful fundraiser by the Tri-City Americans. Last month's pink ice night was a big part of the $23 thousand raised for breast cancer research. This Saturday the Ams will present the check to the Tri-Cities Cancer Center. The money will go toward patient nurse navigation, free screenings, cancer-education, and free classes in the wellness center.
