Amerks Celebrity Waiter Dinner & Sports Memorabilia Auction Monday
February 27, 2005 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Rochester Americans News Release
(Rochester, NY)... The Rochester Americans will be serving plates instead of pucks at the annual 2004 Amerks Celebrity Waiter Dinner & Sports Memorabilia Auction, to be held on Monday, February 28th at 5:30 p.m. at The Clarion Riverside Hotel in downtown Rochester.
Amerk players will serve guests their food and drinks for tips, with all proceeds benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Rochester. The tipping does not stop after dinner, as players perform antics and tricks with their guests and fellow players for more money.
Great sports memorabilia items from the National Hockey League, American Hockey League and National Football League will highlight the auction. Featured auction items include an autographed Eric Moulds (Buffalo Bills) football, a Martin Brodeur New Jersey Devils autographed jersey, a signed photo of Wayne Gretzky, and autographed Buffalo Sabres jerseys of Derek Roy, Andrew Peters and Martin Biron. In addition, game-worn jerseys from the Amerks, Knighthawks, Rhinos and Rattlers will be present at the event.
This year, one of the highlights is the "The Amerks Players' Favorite Things" basket. It will include a basket full of the Amerks players' favorite things - from favorite restaurant gift certificates, favorite movies, favorite recipes, along with some autographed items from the players. The Amerks Wives & Girlfriends will be selling raffle tickets at the Amerks Celebrity Waiter Dinner and Auction. The winner will be drawn that evening.
Donations to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Rochester will fund on-going, groundbreaking medical research aimed at curing and controlling cystic fibrosis. Last year the dinner raised a record $55,026.
For dinner, auction and ticket information, contact the Rochester chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation at (585) 697-0777 or at jfournier@cff.org. Tables are available for sponsorship level donations including bonuses such as choice of your Amerks player waiter.
