CUTLINE: Just before the start of the July 11 New Britain Rock Cats game against the Trenton Thunder, Tom and Heidi King, of Bristol, present to Karen Butler, Manchester, a donation to help support the fight against multiple sclerosis, a potentially debilitating disease. The couple has a close family member who battles MS. Butler, who serves as vice president of communications with the National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter, attended the July 11 game representing the chapter, which was the winner of an online social media contest hosted by the Rock Cats on Facebook. Rock Cats Facebook fans were asked in June to vote for a favorite charity among three featured. Fans voted the National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter as charity of choice, which then helped host Social Media Night at the Rock Cats stadium in New Britain. For every guest attending the July 11 game, $1 was donated to the National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter. More than 4,000 people attended the July 11 game. The Rock Cats are donating $1,532 to the National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter. For more a schedule of upcoming games, visit www.rockcats.com.
