(NASHUA, NH, June 19, 2007) The Nashua Pride will be honoring New Hampshire's bravest and finest on Thursday, June 21st when the Pride take on the Cam-Am League's traveling Grays. The Pride will be celebrating the state's firefighters and police officers with contests, giveaways, and on-field promotions. Money will be raised through silent auctions during the game which will be donated 50/50 to the Hundred Club and to the Arthur C. Luf Children's Burn Camp. There will also be a 50/50 raffle to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

A homerun derby is scheduled to take place at 5:30 PM which will pit the police officers against the firefighters. From 6:00 to 9:00 PM the Budweiser Genuine Sauces Mobile Grill will be in the parking lot. It is open to the public, ages 21 and older, and will feature Budweiser's seven signature barbecue and wing sauces.

During the game the Nashua Pride will be having an on-field donut eating contest sponsored by Dunkin' Donuts. Prior to the game there will be a fire truck present through the beginning of the game.

The Hundred Club is an organization that provides comfort to the families of police officers or firefighters who were killed on the job. Some services provided are: presentation of $10,000 immediately on the death of a member of our protective services; each surviving child receives $300 every Christmas up to and including their 17th birthday, college students also receive $300; youngsters can vacation for two weeks at any summer camp of their choice; educational assistance is also made available to students attending institutions of higher learning.

The Arthur C. Luf Children's Burn Camp offers a safe natural environment for children ages 8-18 from around the world who have survived life altering burn injuries. Their goal is to provide these children with experiences and memories that will last a life time and hopefully will help them increase their self-esteem and make them feel more comfortable with who they are so that they can reintroduce themselves into their family and community.

The Budweiser Barbecue Sauce Mobile Grill launched Memorial Day 2007. This is the first Anheuser-Busch mobile marketing experience of its kind. The Budweiser Genuine Sauces Mobile Grill features a state-of-the-art kitchen where the local Budweiser team can cook, serve and provide refreshments for approximately 80 people at a time. The 26-foot Budweiser Genuine Sauces sampling unit features a décor reminiscent of a cozy backyard cookout. Part of the proceeds will be donated to Ducks Unlimited. Ducks Unlimited is devoted to preserving and restoring North American wetlands today for a better tomorrow.
