Hurricanes Yard Sale and Food Drive at PNC Arena This Weekend

Oct. 3 - 4, 2020
ONE WEEKEND ONLY! DEALS YOU WON’T FIND ANYWHERE ELSE!

The Carolina Hurricanes Yard Sale on the floor of PNC Arena features merchandise markdowns up to 75% off, new and game-used hockey equipment, autographed collectibles, exclusive memorabilia and more.

If you’re a Canes Season Ticket Member, you have access to the yard sale on Saturday from 8 a.m. - 1 p.m. The yard sale will be open to the public on Sunday at those same times.

Parking, maps, and additional sale details can be found here.

HELP THOSE IMPACTED BY COVID-19 DURING FOOD DRIVE

Also on Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m - 1 p.m. the Hurricanes, in partnership with Inter-Faith Food Shuttle, will host a food drive to benefit families in need during the COVID-19 health crisis.

Volunteers from Inter-Faith Food Shuttle will collect non-perishable food items in the 4000 lot on the North end of PNC Arena near Donnie MacMillian Way. Fans may stop by to donate food even if they do not plan to attend the yard sale, and the Hurricanes have established protocols to ensure all donations can be made safely. All food collected will be donated in support of COVID-19 relief, supporting children and families in need – particularly children who typically receive free and reduced lunch. Suggested food items include:

· Canned fruit and vegetables
· Rice, pasta and pasta sauce
· Cereal boxes and oatmeal
· Canned soup
· Canned chicken and tuna
· Canned/dry beans

Additional details about the Food Drive can be found here and on the Yard Sale page.
