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.

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.
