Philadelphia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/19/2017 -- A batch of Pete Ciarrocchi's famous Crabfries® recently found themselves at the center of one of this summer's most inspirational stories thanks to former Philadelphia Eagle Vince Papale and pro football hopeful RaShaun Sligh. Read more about it here and visit Chickie's & Pete's Crab House and Sports Bar online to find the nearest place to get Pete Ciarrocchi's most famous dish.

Philadelphia sports talk has been swept up in what fans have come to expect during this time of year, given the pattern of the last few: The Phillies' struggles, rebuilding the Eagles, the Soul's dominance, and the Sixers' bright future. This year feels a bit different, though, because things seem to be looking up for each of the city's major sports franchises, and one young man is doing everything he can to be a part of it.

RaShaun Sligh is the 24-year-old football player fans may have heard of by now: He's been camped out in front of the NovaCare Complex with a sign that reads "RaShaun Sligh Just Wants an Opportunity to be an Eagle."

Vince Papale, whose famous story became the film "Invincible," related personally to Sligh's story. To show his appreciation and offer encouragement, Papale brought Sligh a cheesesteak and Crabfries®.

Pete Ciarrocchi and his team at the Philadelphia Soul admired Sligh's efforts so much so that they granted him a tryout with the reigning Arena Football League champions.

"We're always happy to help someone realize their dreams," Pete Ciarrocchi said.

"I think what he's doing is great," Pete Ciarrocchi continued. "Me, my family, and my colleagues all admire his determination and spirit," he added.

"There are a lot of different organizations involved in this," Pete Ciarrocchi said about Free Toll Friday. "It's not just Chickie' & Pete's, we also partnered with the Veterans Multi-Service Center of Philadelphia, who will bring their Touch-A-Truck exhibit, which gives children the chance to see military vehicles and fire trucks up close," he added.

Lastly, it is of the utmost importance to Pete Ciarrocchi and his team that everyone remembers what Memorial Day is about: appreciating veterans who have sacrificed for the sake of their country's freedom. In keeping with that, Chickie's & Pete's Crab House and Sports bar will be donating money to the Veterans Multi-Service Center to show gratitude to the organization for their tireless efforts to help veterans in need.

"We want you to start the summer off with something free," Pete Ciarrocchi said. "Use the money you save on tolls to have a drink on us!" he added.

Philadelphia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/13/2017 -- Each year, SJ Magazine selects 13 exceptional men of unique individual prominence and brings them together for its annual Roundtable evening at The Capital Grille in Cherry Hill, NJ. The only attribute each attendee has in common with his fellow participants is a notable degree of success in his given field; and, this year, Pete Ciarrocchi is honored to count himself among those who will be in attendance.

"I really am humbled to be invited to this," Pete Ciarrocchi said. "I'm looking forward to the conversation most, though, because each person's success is different from the next, and the chance to hear everyone tell their story is worthwhile in and of itself," he added.

The annual SJ Magazine Roundtable is "an evening of conversation and exchange," during which those in attendance share stories in a forum that is designed to highlight their character and provide insight into what lead to their accomplishments. For the magazine's readers, those conversations paint an inspirational and practical picture of what it takes to be successful. For Pete Ciarrocchi and the other participants/attendees, the Roundtable facilitates a discussion about the means by which people in similar positions found themselves where they are.

"Every opportunity I get to gather a little insight from a successful person -- be it a celebrity, philanthropist, or anyone from any walk of life -- I take it," Pete Ciarrocchi offered in regards to what he hopes to take away from this year's Roundtable. "And I think it's as much of an opportunity for the guys there to learn from each other as it is for the readers to come away with something valuable for themselves," he added.
