August 31, 2005 - The Cedar Rapids Kernels have teamed up with the American Red Cross to help aid those affected by Hurricane Katrina and will make a special presentation to the Red Cross prior to Thursday night's regular season home finale against Quad City. Throughout the first two games of this home stand fans have been donating money to the Red Cross via special red canisters located at each concession stand at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
