ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The Rochester Knighthawks and Veterans Outreach Center are teaming up to host Military Appreciation Night on Saturday, Feb. 29 when the Knighthawks face the New York Riptide at 7:00 p.m. at Segar & Sciortino Field at the Blue Cross Arena.
“It’s incredible to work with such great community partners like the Rochester Knighthawks,” Veterans Outreach Center Executive Director and U.S. Army Veteran Laura Stradley said. “Every day, Veterans Outreach Center engages with brave men and women from all branches of military service who have made tremendous sacrifices for our country. To have this kind of support from the Knighthawks is heartwarming, and its indicative of their commitment to this community. The proceeds from this event will go a long way toward providing critical, life-changing services for veterans, completely free of charge. We appreciate all of the players and staff so much for their investment in our mission and their desire to join VOC in Serving Those Who Served U.S.”
“This is an event we take great pride in hosting each year with the Amerks and we’re equally as excited for the opportunity to bring the Knighthawks into the partnership with Veterans Outreach Center,” said Rob Minter, vice president of business operations for the Knighthawks. “Military Appreciation Night is about honoring the brave men and women in our community and in the U.S. Armed Forces who have served or are currently serving our great country and the opportunity for us as an organization to express our immense gratitude for their countless sacrifices.”
