Rocky Top Hospitality Partners with the hCard® to Benefit Just for Kids Kampaign

Raleigh, NC, May 21, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Dean Ogan, owner of Rocky Top Hospitality (www.rockytophospitality.com), has announced that the company has partnered with hCard® to benefit the Just for Kids Kampaign by WakeMed Foundation. The hCard® is a promotional card that provides participants with discounts from both national and local retailers and restaurants. The card is $25 and valid for one year. Each time the hCard® is used at a Rocky Top Hospitality establishment, participants will receive 25 percent off their meal and one guest's meal with 50 percent of the sales going directly to the Just for Kids Kampaign, a $20 million fund raising campaign organized by the WakeMed Foundation’s volunteer Board of Directors and Campaign Committees to support a much-needed expansion of pediatric services at WakeMed Children’s. The hCard is only valid on food purchases and not valid with any other special or discount.

The WakeMed Foundation is reaching out to the community to help build a new Children’s Hospital that will occupy the entire fourth floor of a brand new patient tower currently under construction at WakeMed’s Raleigh Campus. For more information or to purchase an hCard®, visit www.rockytophospitality.com.

“We are excited about our partnership with the hCard®,” said Ogan. “The Just for Kids Kampaign is a great charity and we hope to help them reach their goal of building a new Children’s Hospital.”
