Myrtle Beach Thunderboltz News Release
FLORENCE, SC â Colortyme Rent-to-Own and the Florence Pride announced today that the First Annual Colortyme/Pride Golf Tournament, held on Monday at The Traces Golf Club, raised $12,600 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. All of the money raised will remain in the Florence area.
More than 20 teams participated in the tournament. Each of the foursomes was paired up with a Pride player or staff member. Many local businesses donated prizes for a raffle, as well as a live auction.
"I would like to thank the Florence Pride for all of their hard work and support that helped to make this tournament the huge success that it was," said Bob Kogler, president of the Florence Colortyme store, located at 938 South Irby Street. "To be able to raise over $12,000 in the first year that we held this tournament is an unbelieveable accomplishment. Both Colortyme and the Pride are looking forward to even bigger things for our 2005 tournament."
The Pride are home for three games this weekend. Tomorrow, they host the Columbus Cottonmouths at 7:00 p.m. On Friday, the Greensboro Generals skate into town for a 7:30 match-up on "Mac and Cheese Night." Fans are encouraged to purchase a box of macaroni and cheese at either Piggly Wiggly or Harris Teeter to use as a noisemaker during the game. Following the game, fans will be able to donate the boxes to representatives from the Manna House. The weekend wraps up on Sunday with a 2:30 matinee against the Charlotte Checkers. Fans will have the opportunity to have their picture taken with the Kelly Cup, which will be on display on the concourse throughout the game. It's also another Sunday Kids' Day, with tickets for kids 12 and under available for just $2.50, and kids' meals will be available for an additional $2.50.
Tickets for all remaining Pride home games are available at the Florence Civic Center Box Office, or through TicketMaster at (843) 679-9333 or www.ticketmaster.com.
