Hamilton Bulldogs News Release
The Hamilton Bulldogs have some exciting community initiatives planned in the coming weeks and are also running a number of ongoing and upcoming promotions.
SEAN CORNER BENEFIT NIGHT
The Hamilton Bulldogs, in conjunction with the Hamilton Hornets Rugby Football Club, will host 'Sean Corner Benefit Night' on Friday, March 30th at 7:30 p.m. when the Bulldogs host the Grand Rapids Griffins at Copps Coliseum.
Sean Corner, a 21 year-old star both in the classroom and on the rugby field, has been a six-year member of the Hamilton Hornets. Corner, a former Hill Park High School graduate and Mohawk College Mountaineers alumni, suffered a spinal cord injury during a rugby game on September 9th, 2006. The injury caused paralysis from the waist down and is likely to be permanent.
Tickets for the 'Sean Corner Benefit Night' can be purchased by contacting Paul Giordano, Director of Corporate Sales at (905) 777-2364 or via email at paul.giordano@hamiltonbulldogs.com or by contacting Andrew Staios at (905) 546-8182 or via email at andrew.staios@hamiltonbulldogs.com, or at Slainte's Irish Pub, located at 33 Bowen St. in Hamilton. The "Sean Corner Benefit Fund" will directly receive all net proceeds from each ticket sold through these avenues.
Donations, including an autographed Team Canada Rugby jersey donated by Rugby Canada, an autographed Team Canada Jarome Iginla jersey donated by Shoot For A Cure, will be put up for silent auction during the game. Other corporate partners involved in offering donated prizes include Park's Furniture, Barbarian Rugby, WorldRugbyShop.com, Busche Granite, Jordana Sports, and New Balance.
Sean will also be on hand to drop the puck during the ceremonial face-off before the game.
