TAMPA, Fla. (December 1, 2015) – During the month of December, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa guests will have the opportunity to support The Angelus.

Based in Hudson, Fla., The Angelus (www.theangelus.com) is a place for severely handicapped residents to call home. With the continued help of the community, the goals and philosophy of The Angelus – “a place to live, to love, to learn” – will be maintained and the quality of life for the people who cannot help themselves will be assured.

The casino will be donating 100 percent of the proceeds generated from sales of limited-edition The Angelus yellow sunglasses from the Rock Shop, as well as proceeds from sales of the 2015 Seminole Hard Rock Girls Calendar during the month of December.

To further support The Angelus, a charity slot tournament will be held at Hard Rock Cafe on Friday, December 4, from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. This event is open to the public. The entry fee for the tournament will be $10 and 50 percent of those proceeds will be donated to the charity and 50 percent will be added to the prize pool. Tickets can be purchased at the Rock Shop beforehand or upon entry to the event.

Also on December 4, a red carpet ceremony featuring local community members will begin at 6 p.m. and will precede a concert in Hard Rock Cafe by Robert Cellucci, a Tampa Bay-area country artist.

Following the concert, The Angelus will be presented with a donation check.
