Meet our Honorary Captain – Ky-mel.
Ky-mel’s dad, Wayne, noticed a small bump/knot on the upper part of his arm in late April of 2019. After several tests, Albany Medical Center physicians diagnosed Ky-mel with osteosarcoma of his humerus. After his diagnosis, Ky-mel missed nearly every day of school and after school activities. The AMC team suggested a partial or full amputation of his arm. At dad’s request, they worked to secure a second opinion/option at Sloan Kettering. Ky-mel and Wayne traveled to NYC in October 2019 where his medical team at Sloan Kettering removed the portion of his humerus that contained the cancer and replaced it with a piece of bone from his leg. They spent nearly one month in NYC and then resumed chemotherapy upon return to Albany.
Building on Love supported Ky-mel and his family with rent and utility assistance during his treatment and rallied support around the holidays. In February 2021 Ky-mel was declared cancer free.
Ky-mel will be taking his Make-A-Wish trip this April to Disney. We can’t wait to see the photos and hear the stories.

2024 will mark the 15th edition of the Capital Cup for Kids, the premiere adult hockey fundraising event in Upstate, NY.
As it has been since our inception, the focus of the Capital Cup for Kids will be to raise funds and awareness for children battling a life-threating medical condition and their families in need in the Capital Region.
This year we will provide support to Building on Love who is managing the administrative and fiduciary responsibilities of presenting the event. Funds will also benefit Capital Cup for Kids, Inc. We will also be granting funds to Make A Wish of NENY and other local organizations. Your gift will do a lot of good!
The 2024 event will feature 400+ participants making up 24 teams competing in four divisions, all vying for their names on the Capital Cup as well as for the bragging rights as the tourney’s largest fundraiser.
We are counting on your support! You can donate on this page, or purchase raffle tickets by clicking here: go.rallyup.com/ccfk24/Campaign/Details
