ROCKFORD, Ill. – The Rockford IceHogs today announced that Hammy will be out and about the Rockford area with free gift cards on Aug. 15.

The promotion is “Pay it Forward” for 815 Day, also known as Rockford Day. For the event, the IceHogs’ mascot will be handing out two $25 gift cards to a random fan in the Rockford area. The recipient of the gift cards can keep one for his or herself and is asked to give the other gift card to a complete stranger, thus “paying it forward” for 815 Day.

The one-day promotion is sponsored by 815 Blades, Countryside Meats & Deli and Sisters on Main.
