Hershey Bears Participating in Running For Rachel Fundraiser on February 8th

Every year, in conjunction with the Hershey Bears, Arooga’s Grille House and Sports Bar coordinates a fundraising night at their locations where Hershey Bears players make an on-site appearance to meet guests, sign autographs, guest bartend, etc. to benefit “Running for Rachel,” a yearly 5K which supports Duodenal cancer research.

Rachel Guss, for which the charity was named after, was a local to the Harrisburg area and was known by many Arooga’s employees. She lost her battle with the aggressive illness in 2011. Last year this event raised over $8,000 in just two hours to benefit the charity’s annual 5K.

“We’re excited to continue our partnership with the Hershey Bears in this fifth consecutive year to benefit Running for Rachel and support their great cause,” said Tanya Scannelli, Arooga’s coordinator for the event.

This year, the fundraiser will be held at six locations, Route 11 (Mechanicsburg), Route 15 (Camp Hill), Route 22 (Harrisburg – Allentown Blvd), Route 39 (Harrisburg – Linglestown Rd), Route 422 (Hershey), and Route 462 (Lancaster), on February 8, 2017 from 6-8pm.
