(1) WHO ARE WE PAYING IT FORWARD TO?
In support of the Ryan Nece Foundation, Hard Rock Cafe Tampa will pay it forward this weekend by hosting a fundraising event that is open to the public. The event features a charity slot tournament, red carpet ceremony, benefit concert and check presentation.

(2) WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
The power of giving event has entertainment for any guest. The slot tournament has an entry fee of $10 and 50 percent of those proceeds will be donated to the charity and 50 percent to the prize pool. Tickets can be purchased at the Rock Shop or upon entry of the event.

A red carpet ceremony featuring local community members and talent is scheduled to kick off the event and will take place outside of Hard Rock Cafe.

Local Tampa Bay Acoustic Music Festival artist, Eden Shireen will take the stage for a concert and following the concert the casino will present the Ryan Nece Foundation with a check totaling funds raised throughout the month.
