Eagles Hosting Second Annual "Firefighter Appreciation Night" This Saturday, February 23
February 19, 2013 - ECHL (ECHL)
Colorado Eagles News Release
LOVELAND, Colo. - Last summer's wildfires across Colorado's Front Range brought to light the incredible work of our local firefighters, and for the second straight season, the Colorado Eagles will be hosting a Firefighter Appreciation Night, this Saturday, February 23, when they take on the Utah Grizzlies at the Budweiser Events Center.
In addition to several of Saturday evening's festivities honoring firefighters, a portion of ticket sales* for all three of the Eagles' games this weekend (they also play Friday night & Sunday afternoon) will go toward the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund, a charity that supports firefighters and their families through various avenues.
Outside of the arena, starting in the late afternoon on Saturday, local firefighters will be educating fans and their children about fire safety, aided by their educational "smoke house" and several of their fire-fighting vehicles. Inside, the night's in-game entertainment will also be firefighter-friendly, including a special Greg Pankewicz jersey up for auction.
*To purchase the specially-designated tickets that will have a portion of their proceeds donated to the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund, contact the Colorado Eagles' office (970-686-7468) and mention Terry Farrell's name or use the promo code "FIRE" when checking out via www.ComcastTix.com.
