Corpus Christi IceRays News Release


Corpus Christi, Texas: September 16, 2004 - The Corpus Christi Rayz have an exciting weekend ahead with two events on Saturday that will place the team at different community events. On Saturday morning at 9:00am, the Rayz will be assisting in both the American Heart Association Heart Walk and the Corpus Christi Beach Cleanup. Both events begin at 9:00am with the AHA Heart Walk taking place at Cole Park, and the Beach Cleanup along the shore of Corpus Christi Beach. All Rayz fans are encouraged to help participate in the activities and come meet Rayz players, staff members, the Sting Team and Sugar Ray.

The AHA Heart Walk will begin at 9:00am at Cole Park in Corpus Christi. Registration and warm-ups begin at 8:30am in preparation for the three mile walk along Ocean Drive. Rayz players Josh Blackburn and Dave Gilmore will be participating in the walk along with General Manager, Larry Linde and other Rayz staff members. The Rayz mascot, Sugar Ray will be on hand to help warm up the participants. The Heart Walk is a charity event that raises money for the American Heart Association.

As players and staff are walking just a few yards from the beach, the Rayz Sting Team will be focusing on cleaning up the beach. The Sting Team will be participating in the Corpus Christi Beach Cleanup on Saturday from 9:00-11:00am. Registration for this even takes place at the Texas State Aquarium before the participants move to CC Beach to begin their cleanup project.
