"WELLS BROTHERS PIZZA HOST FUNDRAISER FOR RACINE RAIDERS"

"(RACINE) - Two institutions that combined have served the Racine community for over 150 years are teaming up on Saturday, December 1, 2012, for a fundraiser. Wells Brothers Pizza, located at 2148 Mead Street in Racine, are hosting a fundraiser for the 2012 Semi-Pro BCS national champion Racine Raiders.


"Wells Brothers Pizza will donate a percentage of sales between 11:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 1, 2012, to the Racine Raiders organization. This applies to dine-in and carryout orders. Wells Brothers Pizza is recommending that patrons make reservations if they plan to dine-in by calling (262) 632-4408.


"The 2012 Semi-Pro BCS national championship trophy will be on display at Wells Brothers Restaurant during the event. In addition, Racine Raiders quarterback Craig McClelland (UW-Oshkosh), running back J.R. Taylor (Eastern Illinois University, Green Bay Packers) and defensive end Brandon Rogers (Tennessee State University) will sign autographs from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Everyone who visits Wells Brothers Pizza during the time the three players are there will receive free, limited-edition collector's cards of the three players.


"ABOUT WELLS BROTHERS PIZZA"

"Since 1921, Wells Brothers has been preparing Italian dishes utilizing the same recipes passed down through the generations — all using fresh, high quality ingredients. Wells Brothers has received numerous awards throughout the years including being named the #6 pizza in the nation in the book 'Everybody Loves Pizza' co-authored by Chicago food critic Penny Pollack.


"ABOUT THE RACINE RAIDERS"

"The Racine Raiders capped the team's 60th season of operation with the eighth national championship in team history, defeating the Nashville Storm, 38-24, in front of nearly 3,500 fans at Historic Horlick Athletic Field in Racine on Saturday, November 10. The team is a 501c(3) not-for-profit organization that is organized very similarly as the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League (no single owner; run by a board of directors). The team averaged nearly 2,000 fans at each home game during the 2012 campaign."

Wish they delivered. Can't get in and I won't wheelchair the area alone.

That's too bad, Huck.

I don't think I've been to Horlick Field since high school. I'm not a sports fan. If I were, though, I'd like to think that I would root for local teams.
