The Williamsport Crosscutters are now accepting applications from area non-profits for the 6th Annual Hot Stove Dinner & Auction with the Phillies to take place in January, 2012 at the Genetti Hotel. The event features guests from the Phillies along with other local sports celebrities.

A portion of the proceeds from the event are donated to a local non-profit each year.

"This is our favorite event of the off season," stated Gabe Sinicropi the team's Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations. "We look forward to another night of fun with the Phillies and the opportunity to raise needed funding for a local charity."

In past years the Hot Stove Dinner & Auction has raised as much as $3,800 for the selected charity. Local agencies who wish to be considered must fill out and return a short application by November 30, 2011. The application is available online by clicking HERE, at the Cutters offices at Historic Bowman Field or by emailing sarah@crosscutters.com.

The date of the event, guests and ticket details regarding the annual dinner are expected to be announced soon. Businesses wishing to receive sponsorship information about the event may contact the Crosscutters at (570) 326-3389.
