Knights visit Children's Hospital
"We couldn't be more pleased than being able to announce our long term partnership with Carolinas Medical Center," states Dan Rajkowski, Vice President and General Manager of the Charlotte Knights.
Rajkowski also states, "The ability to tie into CMC and their employees, the Levine Children's Hospital and many other programs is truly a commitment to our relationship now and in the future. The Knights vision is to provide our fans, players and citizens the opportunity to benefit from this unprecedented partnership."
As part of the partnership, the Charlotte Knights will provide Carolinas Medical Center with prominent exposure throughout Knights Stadium as well as providing ticket incentives to the hard working and dedicated CMC employees. Carolinas Medical Center will also be recognized as the presenting sponsor for a variety of promotional events that are to take place at Knights Stadium during the season. The most prominent addition to Knights Stadium will be the Carolinas Medical Center Rookie Play Zone.
Carolinas Medical Center is the flagship facility of Carolinas HealthCare System. CMC serves as the regional referral center for western North Carolina, as it is currently one of North Carolina's largest hospitals. CMC opened in 1940 and now includes a total of 861 beds.
The Knights open the 2006 home season at Knights Stadium on Friday, April 14th versus the Pawtucket Red Sox at 7:15 p.m.
