WRC Doubleheader Teams Up Fuddruckers & Hickory Crawdads

Fuddruckers opened their doors for the first WRC Double Header using a coupon program to provide the center with donation of 20% of the day's food and beverage sales.   Hickory's Crawdads CARE Campaign  was featured during the event. 
Crawdads representatives accompanied their lovely team mascot, Candy Crawdad and greeted restaurant patrons offering $5 general admission ticket vouchers for the 2010 season.  50% of the voucher sales were also donated to WRC. 

Thank you to both organizations and Hickory's  FOCUS for promoting the fundraiser and for making the coupons available at their office.
