The Amerks are also offering all Hometown Heroes a complimentary ticket to their game against the Bulldogs.

Those interested in taking advantage of the offer can do so by visiting www.amerks.com/hometownheroes. Hometown Heroes or their families can also use that link to submit a photo to be used during an in-game tribute on the video board.

The Rochester Police Foundation will be on hand throughout the night to raise funds and awareness for its cause. The Rochester Police Foundation was formed in 2012 to foster public safety, excellence in law enforcement and a positive relationship between RPD and the community it serves. Dedicated in partnership with RPD, the Rochester Police Foundation works with a range of business and civic leaders and community safety advocates on public safety initiatives, community and youth outreach programs, and crime prevention programs.
