Fans can also expect some special guests in the stands throughout the night. Representatives from California Paws Rescue and some of the organization’s rescued Bull Terriers are expected to be there cheering on the Firebirds.
The fundraiser gives Firebirds fans an opportunity to enjoy a game while supporting a Coachella Valley organization focused on rescuing and caring for dogs in need.
