The next Checkers home game on Sunday, February 8 (4:00 PM) will be their annual "Pink In The Rink" night to raise funds for the American Cancer Society and two breast cancer organizations.
From a recent press release by the team:
"The Charlotte Checkers will hold their third annual "Pink in the Rink" game presented by Hardee's and 107.9 FM on Sunday, Feb. 8 against the Florida Everblades. The game will benefit the American Cancer Society, Carolina Breast Friends and Susan G. Komen for the Cure Charlotte Affiliate.
During the event, the Checkers will don special pink and navy jerseys that will be auctioned off after the game with proceeds benefiting the aforementioned organizations. The Checkers will also raise money through group-tickets and merchandise sales. To purchase tickets for the event, please visit Charlotte Checkers (http://www.gocheckers.com/fundraisers - broken link) and click on the Pink in the Rink logo."
In addition to raising money for a great cause - the Checkers are playing the first place Florida Everblades, so it would be great to see a big home crowd.
