CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Charlotte Checkers announced that Charity Case will play a post-game concert on Saturday, March 17 after the Checkers host the Florida Everblades at Charlotte Bobcats Arena. Admission to the concert is free to those with a ticket to that night's game.
Debuting in 2001, Charity Case made a commitment to raise funds for Ace & TJ's Grin Kids - a charity organization started by the top-rated Ace & TJ morning-drive radio show on Kiss 95.1 FM from 6:00-10:00 a.m. EST.
The Checkers will donate $6 from each Premium and Attack Zone ticket, and $5 from each Terrace ticket, sold through the team's website using the Promo Code "GRIN" to Ace & TJ's Grin Kids.
Ace & TJ's Grin Kids is a 501(c)3 which benefits children who are terminally ill and chronically disabled, ages five to twelve, in the listening area. Along with an auction and other fund-raising events each year, Grin Kids pays for children, their parents and their siblings to go to Disney World. All expenses are covered including the charter flight, hotel, park passes, meal coupons and Disney Dollars. Charity Case is the largest source of income for the Grin Kids program.
