Reading Royals News Release


Reading, PA - The Reading Royals of the ECHL today announced that the organization will host the second annual ‘Pink In The Rink' celebration presented by Perrotto Builders, Ltd., on Saturday, February 21, 2009, when the Royals face the Wheeling Nailers, at the Sovereign Center (7:05 pm). That night, the Sovereign Center will be resplendent in pink, and the game night activities will be dedicated towards furthering awareness of the efforts to find a cure for breast cancer, recognizing breast cancer survivors, remembering loved ones who have battled cancer, and raising funds for Breast Cancer Support Services of Berks County (BCSS). The first 6,000 fans in attendance at the Pink in the Rink game will receive a pink breast cancer awareness magnet.

With respect to raising funds, five dollars of every ticket purchased at the Royals' office for the team's match-up against the Nailers on February 21 will be donated to BCSS. The Royals will also wear special pink jerseys that night which will be auctioned off after the game with the net proceeds going to BCSS. Also, as with last year's PIR game, the Royals would respectfully challenge our fans and local business entities to participate in our "Goals for a Cure" program, under which you can donate either a flat fee or a certain amount per goal scored that night, which the Royals' organization will match dollar-for-dollar.
