Rays in the Community

Between the team and Cool Ray, it has been a fun year in the community for the Stingrays organization! The players have served the Lowcountry in numerous ways including visits to local elementary schools, MUSC Children's Hospital, the Salvation Army Bell Ringing, the Low Country Foodbank, and the Ronald McDonald House of Charleston. The Rays coach youth hockey practices, read to students, and attend festivals and fairs.

If you're out and about be sure to stop and say hey to Cool Ray as he can be found roaming around Second Sunday, the Charleston Farmers Market, the Mount Pleasant Farmers Market, and various other parades, shops, and events.

The Stingrays helped out at the Lowcountry Foodbank.

The Stingrays visited MUSC Children's Hospital in December.

What's Next for the Stingrays? The Rays have three games in Florida (1/11, 1/13, and 1/14) before the All-Star Break. They return to play in Atlanta (1/21) before finishing out January with four home games (1/22, 1/27, 1/28, 1/29).
