August 28, 2006

ATLANTA — On the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Shane's Rib Shack of Charlotte will raise funds for two firefighter programs: Uniformed Firefighters Association of Greater New York Widows' and Children's Fund and the Charlotte Firefighters Association Benevolent Fund.
