South Carolina Stingrays News Release


North Charleston, SC - The South Carolina Stingrays announced today that Sunday, March 22nd will be Stingrays Low Country Relief Day. Stingrays Low Country Relief Day is intended to benefit individuals and families affected by loss of work in the last year.

If you or someone you know has lost their job or their business recently as the result of the recent economic downturn, the South Carolina Stingrays would like to invite you or that someone to a free afternoon escape from the stresses of everyday life. The Rays are offering free tickets to these individuals and their families for their home game on Sunday, March 22nd at 5:00PM at the North Charleston Coliseum. The game also features a free pregame Kid's Carnival outside the Coliseum beginning at 3:30. The tickets are only available by calling the Stingrays office at 744-2248 between now and Friday, March 20th and are only available to unemployed men and women and their families. This offer is not valid at the North Charleston Coliseum Box Office.

"From our ownership to our players, we have always been a community friendly team, that has tried to give back to our area and its causes," commented Stingrays President Darren Abbott. "On March 22nd, our goal is to have local families that are struggling take a break, come to the rink and enjoy a hockey game on us. Obviously this is a modest gesture, but we hope it is one some residents and families will take us up on."
