Checkers Fight For Ellie November 8th

Join the Charlotte Checkers and the Potvin family for Checkers Fight for Ellie on Sunday, November 8 at 2:00 pm.

Ellie Shoal Potvin is a beautiful seven year old girl who was diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer called Rhabdomyosarcoma in July of 2008. The Checkers relationship with the Potvin's began last season when they hosted the first "Lift Up Ellie Night" at Time Warner Cable Arena. Her family, along with the Checkers teamed up with the community to raise funds to help ease the family's mounting financial burden. The Potvin's have no control of the number of days they will be blessed with Ellie's joy filled spirit and have been handed the news that they are once again facing the fight of little Ellie's life.

Join the Checkers as the team once again comes together to support Team Potvin as they continue their journey. Click Here to purchase tickets. Contact Danielle Adkins for more information at 704-444-1876 or by emailing dadkins@gocheckers.com.
