FLORENCE, SC – The Pee Dee Pride announced today that the team will hold its first-ever Health Awareness Night on Saturday, January 15 when the Pride host the Greenville Grrrowl at 7:30 p.m.

Local health organizations will be on the concourse prior to the game and during the game for fans to learn more about health-related concerns in the Pee Dee region. In addition, fans will have the opportunity to win a number of great prizes from the vendors that are present at the game. Fans will be able to begin visiting the vendors when the civic center doors open at 6:30 p.m.

"We are very excited about our plans for Health Awareness Night," Pride Chief Operating Officer Debbie Hyler said. "Right now we are at about 35 vendors who have already committed to being here, and we are working on several more. There is a wide array of vendors who will be here, and it promises to be an educational night. We hope that people will take advantage of the opportunity that will be present on January 15."

Any companies or organizations who would like to participate in Health Awareness Night can contact the Pride office at (843) 669-7825. The deadline to register is Tuesday, January 11.

Following the game on January 15, the Pride will present a post-game concert featuring local band, The Woody's. The seven-member rock and roll band is known for playing music everybody loves to hear. The Woody's appeal to a broadly based audience with their performance of classic rock, rhythm and blues, and soul. From Motown tunes like "Can't Help Myself" top standard rock fare like "Travelin' Band," The Woody's energize a variety of young to "older than young" audiences every time they play.
