The event, now in its second year, raised more than $53,000 in 2012.
It'll once again be a great day for hockey when residents from around Pittsburgh convene in Brentwood Borough on Saturday, March 9, for the second annual "Drop the Puck on Cancer" fundraising event that will benefit a number of South Hills families. "Drop the Puck" raised more than $53,000 this past year for the Duttine family, of Whitehall Borough, and the efforts of the late Tom Cavataio, of Brentwood. Julie Andrulonis Duttine, who grew up in Brentwood, died from cancer in December 2011, the same month that Tom Cavataio, a hockey enthusiast largely responsible for developing street hockey in Brentwood, also died from the disease. This year, proceeds from the event will also be shared with the families of four more Brentwood natives who …

Daylong event brings out the best in Brentwood and the rest of the South Hills.
UPDATE (Monday, Feb. 27, at 4:51 p.m.): The total money raised by this event has now exceeded $53,000, and donations are still being accepted. Saturday at Brentwood Park may have been centered around hockey, but the day was never about hockey. For the families of the late Tom Cavataio, of Brentwood Borough, and Julie (Andrulonis) Duttine, of nearby Whitehall Borough, things like hockey stopped being important too long ago. Both Tom and Julie—Brentwood High School alumni—died from cancer in December, leaving a hole in the lives of their families and friends. But events like Saturday's "Drop the Puck on Cancer" aimed to fill at least part of that hole. Friends, relatives, neighbors, classmates and even total strangers descended on Brentwood …
