The Johnstown Chiefs a holding a band-aid donation drive at their home game on Friday, December 18 to benefit the Brent's Band-Aids charity. They have also issued a sellout challenge for the same game.

"The Chiefs are excited to help an outstanding young man like Brent Swaltek. His charity is a great cause and we want to send him home with more boxes of band-aids than he knows what to do with. Our fans are more than generous when it comes to causes like this, and I know they'll get behind it in a big way," said Ray Schmitt, director of communication and customer relations.

Brent's Band-Aids is a charity that was started this past summer by seven year old Brent Swaltek of Windber. Swaltek, who was diagnosed with leukemia in July, started his charity in order to collect cartoon-themed band-aids which are then donated to Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh. To date, Brent has donated over 1,000 boxes of band-aids.

In order to help Brent's cause, the Chiefs are asking that everyone attending the December 18 game vs. Toledo bring a box of cartoon band-aids with them. For those who do the Chiefs will give them one free child's ticket for each box of band-aids that is donated. Donation tables will be set up in the War Memorial Arena lobby and in exchange for the band-aids fans will be given a voucher, for that night's game only, good for one free child's ticket.
