Orlando Predators News Release
ORLANDO, Fla. (March 29, 2004) -- The Orlando Predators will host their inaugural Black and Red Ball on Saturday, May 1, 2004 at the TD Waterhouse Centre beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The Black Tie Optional event will take place on the Predators playing field and all of the proceeds will benefit the Ronald McDonald House and other select Orlando charities. The event will honor individuals who have made significant contributions to the Predators organization, with Head Coach Jay Gruden being the first honoree.
Arena Football League Commissioner David C. Baker will deliver the keynote address. Pat Clarke, sports director of WESH-TV in Orlando, will serve as Master of Ceremonies. A number of other special guests from the sports and entertainment fields have been invited.
The event will include a cocktail hour, silent and live auction, dinner, presentations, live music and dancing. Single seats to the event are $125 each, with tables of 10 (eight seats plus a Predators player, guest or coach) available for $1,200. Sponsorship opportunities are also available.
"Over the years, the Predators have always had a good track record of involvement in the Central Florida community through its community relations programs. We have used our resources to help hundreds or organizations with their individual fund raisers," Predators President Brett Bouchy said. "But we also made a conscious decision to become more involved in our community. It started last year when we began securing local ownership of the team and now we are ready to take it to the next level with the creation of the Black and Red Ball. We envision this annual affair becoming a significant event on the Orlando social calendar."
