Checkers' Seventh Annual Pooch Party Set for April 10
March 23, 2016 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Charlotte Checkers News Release
CHARLOTTE, NC - The Charlotte Checkers today announced that their seventh annual Pooch Party will be held Sunday, April 10. All fans are encouraged to bring their dogs to Bojangles' Coliseum for the team's 12 p.m. game against the Milwaukee Admirals.
Fans who wish to bring their dogs must purchase $16 tickets in a special dog-friendly section of the coliseum by visiting the Checkers' official website at gocheckers.com/pooch. Dogs themselves will not need a game ticket unless their owners would prefer to have an additional seat's worth of space.
Dog owners must also complete a liability and registration form that can be obtained upon entering the coliseum at the Pooch Party entrance (to the right of the box office doors and down the stairs) or in advance by downloading a copy from the Checkers' website and bringing it to the game.
A portion of ticket proceeds from the event will benefit several non-profit organizations dedicated to animal welfare including Rescue Ranch, Great Dane Friends of Ruff Love, S.A.F.E Animal Haven and Happy Tails Rescue. In addition, several pet-related vendors including Doody Calls, Carolinas Critter Sitters, Healthy Pet Bedding, and The Barker Lounge will be on hand to showcase their services on the concourse.
The Pooch Party coincides with the Checkers' final home game of the 2015-16 regular season. The team begins a six-game home stand on Friday, April 1.
