Rocky Top Hospitality Partners with The hCard® to Benefit Poe Health Center

Raleigh, NC, March 28, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Dean Ogan, owner of Rocky Top Hospitality (www.rockytophospitality.com), has announced that the company has partnered with hCard® to benefit the Poe Health Center. The hCard® is a promotional card that provides participants with discounts from both national and local retailers and restaurants. The card is $25 and valid for one year. Each time the hCard® is used at a Rocky Top Hospitality establishment, participants will receive 25 percent off of food purchases, with 50 percent of the sales going directly to the Alice Aycock Poe Center for Health Education, an organization dedicated to delivering and developing programs for youth to address health concerns like childhood obesity, physical inactivity, unhealthy food choices, tooth decay, drug and alcohol abuse, unintentional injuries, and teen pregnancy.

“We are excited about our partnership with the hCard®,” said Ogan. “We have set a goal to sell 10,000 cards in 2008 to generate $125,000 for the Poe Health Center.”
