Alex Ovechkin is on the verge of breaking Wayne Gretzky's record for career goals in the NHL, currently sitting just 11 goals shy. To leverage this moment, he has partnered with Hockey Fights Cancer and the V Foundation for Cancer Research to initiate "THE GR8 CHASE for Victory Over Cancer". Ovechkin pledges to donate an amount equal to his career goal total for every goal he scores, inviting fans to contribute as well. This initiative emphasizes the importance of supporting pediatric cancer research, with 100% of donations going directly to the cause.
"There is so much attention on the chase, so I'm using that to help. We should all help and make cancer go away," Ovechkin told ESPN.
