Goodwill Knight Out At The Ballpark
"The Charlotte Knights encourage our fans to help out Goodwill Industries and those who benefit from their organization", said Dan Rajkowski, VP/General Manager of the Knights. "It's important that we help provide a place where people can help donate to members of our community who need assistance."
"Goodwill is pleased to be associated with the Charlotte Knights and the tradition of baseball as family-focused entertainment," said Bo Hussey, Director of Marketing & Communications for Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont. "By bringing our two organizations together, we hope to create awareness of the work Goodwill does in the local community and thereby increase donations. With more donations and sales at our retail stores, we can further support our training programs that benefit families."
