Phoenix RoadRunners News Release
Phoenix, Ariz. - The Phoenix RoadRunners of the ECHL are pleased to announce they have teamed up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Arizona for two special events next week to benefit the local charity.
As part of "Harley Davidson Night" for their regular season home finale at 7:11PM Tuesday against the Las Vegas Wranglers, the RoadRunners will wear one-of-a-kind Harley Davidson jerseys. These game-worn jerseys will then be available for purchase through a live auction to be held immediately after the game at Stoudemire's Downtown located across the street from US Airways Center on 2nd Street. A portion of the proceeds will go directly to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Special $7 tickets for this game can be purchased in advance by contacting Jamile Hand at (602) 379-7771.
The RoadRunners will also host their first annual "Celebrity Waiters and Casino Night" event at 7:30PM Wednesday from Alice Cooper'stown located right behind US Airways Center on Jackson Street in downtown Phoenix. RoadRunners players will be all hands on deck as they serve up your favorite Cooper'stown dishes. Plus, test your poker skills in a celebrity Texas Hold'em tournament against your favorite RoadRunners. Prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers. Please consider a $25 charitable donation to participate in the tournament. A portion of the proceeds collected from your tips and the buy-in for the poker tournament will also benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
