Charlotte Checkers News Release


CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Charlotte Checkers will "Fight For Ellie" on Sunday when they play host to the Kalamazoo Wings at 2 p.m. at Time Warner Cable Arena.

Ellie Shoal Potvin is a seven-year-old girl who, last July, was diagnosed with Stage 4 Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare childhood cancer. Last season, the Checkers hosted "Lift Up Ellie Night", raising $9,600 for Ellie's treatment and her family's expenses.

To help with the ongoing financial burden facing the Potvin family during Ellie's struggle the Checkers have set up a fundraising ticket initiative for this game. Fundraiser tickets can be purchased at $15 with $6 going directly back to the family. More information can be found at http://www.gocheckers.com/ellie or by contacting Danielle Adkins at 704-444-1876 or dadkins@gocheckers.com.

When: Sunday, Nov. 8, 2009 @ 2 p.m.

Where: Time Warner Cable Arena

Who: Potvin family and Checkers players and staff
