RIVERDOGS SUPPORT LOCAL HOSPITALITY EMPLOYEES AND THEIR FAMILIES

Charleston, SC - The Hospitality Heroes Fund, a nonprofit organization aimed at helping Charleston-area hospitality employees and their families when faced with a medical hardship, invites the local community to come out to the Charleston RiverDogs game on Monday, August 10. Game time is 7:05 p.m. Tickets are available in advance for $7 at Red's Ice House on Shem Creek, or by calling the Hospitality Heroes Fund at (843) 270-4700. For every ticket sold through Red’s or the organization, $4 will directly benefit the Hospitality Heroes Fund. The game is part of the RiverDogs' "Dogs with a Cause" initiative to help increase awareness and fund-raising opportunities for local nonprofit organizations.

The Hospitality Heroes Fund was established to help alleviate financial burden brought on by unfortunate medical tragedies to employees and their families within the Charleston-area hospitality community. When a serious injury occurs, or an individual or one of their children experiences a prolonged hospital stay, the hospitality industry continues to thrive, but in many instances, it is tremendously difficult for the employee to continue living their life as they knew it. The Hospitality Heroes Fund serves as a safety net and a helping hand to help our fellow colleagues get back on their feet.

"Dining out is a serious pastime in Charleston," states Steve Carroll, Hospitality Heroes Fund board member and general manager of Red's Ice House. "The enjoyment we all get from dining out would not be possible without the commitment and dedication from so many outstanding hospitality employees. This opportunity presented by the RiverDogs is a great way for Charleston to show these individuals and their families that we appreciate their hard work and what they bring to our community." In order for the full proceeds to go towards the Hospitality Heroes Fund, the public is encouraged to purchase their tickets from Red's Ice House or from someone involved with the fund. However, if you are unable to do so, they ask that a request be made at the ticket booth on game-day to have your ticket go towards the Hospitality Heroes' cause.
