Amerks, Knighthawks Don Waiter Uniforms for Charity
The Rochester Knighthawks and Rochester Amerks traded in their jerseys for tuxedos Tuesday night for the 20th Annual Celebrity Waiter Dinner and Auction.

For $65 diners were waited on by members from both teams donning waiter outfits to deliver food and drinks at the Blue Cross Arena.

"It's good for the community and it's for a great cause. It gives the fans a chance to come meet us in a different uniform than a hockey outfit. It's a good experience all around," said Amerk Rory Fitzpatrick.

All tips and proceeds will benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Rochester and the Knighthawks-Amerks Charitable Foundation.
