ORLANDO SOLAR BEARS URGE FANS TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY
FOOD AND OUTREACH CENTER
Orlando, FL – Orlando, FL – The Orlando Solar Bears are
asking their fans and supporters to join Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer and
the Community Food and Outreach Center’s initiative to help Central
Florida families who are in need due to the NBA lockout through
NBALockoutRelief.org.
“We are thrilled that the NBA lockout has ended and our friends at the
Magic will be back on the court soon,” said Bob Ohrablo, Managing
Partner/Chief Operating Officer of the Orlando Solar Bears. “However,
with games starting the end of December, these families will need our
continued support during the Holiday season.”
The Haleski Foundation, run by Solar Bears partner Joseph Haleski, has
pledged a $20,000 donation on behalf of the Solar Bears and the team’s
fans.
“We have been blessed by the response of Central Florida sports fans and
want to give back to our community,” said Haleski. “The people who
benefit from this program are hard working members of our team and we
ask our fans to support them as well.”
Solar Bears fans who want to make a donation can go online to
www.communityfoodoutreach.org to give their gift or they can contact the
charity directly by calling 407-456-0605.
The Orlando Solar Bears have come Out of Hibernation and begin play in
October 2012, as members of the ECHL, professional hockey’s Double “AA”
league. The Orlando Solar Bears are committed to bringing quality
entertainment to the Greater Orlando community at family affordable
prices providing unparalleled customer service.
Located just 2 miles from Amway Center, home of the Solar Bears,

each day on its Downtown Orlando campus. They have a mission that
inspires them to give a hand up to those in need in Central Florida.
