Erie Explosion News Release


On Saturday night, June 27, 2009, the Erie RiverRats will host the defending AIFA champion Florence Phantoms at the Tullio Arena in the season finale for both teams. The Erie RiverRats and the Second Harvest Food Bank are teaming up on this special occasion to help tackle hunger in the Erie area, and we need your help.

The Second Harvest Food Bank is a nonprofit charitable organization committed to the premise that all persons have the right to adequate nutrition.

In 1982, its first year of operation, Second Harvest distributed 444,916 pounds of food to 40 agencies. In 2008, Second Harvest distributed over 7 million pounds of food to more than 300 member agencies.

Unfortunately, it still isn't enough and more needs to be done. That's where we all come in.

The Erie RiverRats are asking the great football fans of Erie to help us collect food that Second Harvest can distribute to those that desperately need it. In appreciation of a donation of non-perishable food items, the Erie RiverRats are giving out vouchers redeemable at the Tullio Arena Box office as part of our special ticket price offer to support the Second Harvest Food Bank. The BUY ONE GET ONE FREE Ticket Offer is $12.00 and 50% of the proceeds from this program will be donated by the Erie RiverRats to the Second Harvest Food Bank in honor of our great fans.
