SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. – Rock Pride will be in full display on Wednesday, April 30, at the Texas Roadhouse in the Clearview Mall when Slippery Rock University athletic coaches, administrators and alumni serve as celebrity wait staff members.

Members of the Texas Roadhouse wait staff will do most of the work, but the celebrity wait staff will meet and greet – and maybe even deliver some food and refreshments to your table – from 6-9 p.m.

The event is designed to raise funds for The Rock Athletic Scholarship Fund through tips and donations from restaurant patrons.

The Rock Athletic Scholarship Fund provides monies for scholarships awarded to SRU student-athletes.

As added enticement that evening, three Rock head coaches – Dr. George Mihalik (football), Jeff Messer (baseball) and Matt Meredith (men’s and women’s tennis) – are scheduled to be the featured guests on “The Rock Roadhouse Coaches Show” that will be broadcast live from the restaurant between 7-8 p.m. on All Hitz 97.7 FM (WLER).

Coaches Mihalik, Messer and Meredith and Rock director of athletics Paul Lueken and other Rock coaches have promised that, for the right price – or even just for the fun of it -- they will line dance with the Roadhouse wait staff.

And lucky diners can win Rock souvenirs and Texas Roadhouse dinner coupons.

So, come on out, partner, and enjoy a great meal, rub elbows with Slippery Rock University coaches and help a good cause.

Wednesday, April 30, from 6-9 p.m. at the Texas Roadhouse in the Clearview Mall.  Slippery Rock University athletic coaches serving as the celebrity wait staff.

It’s a Rock-solid bet you can’t find better entertainment for such a low price.
