Jersey auctions raise over $3,000
GRAND CHUTE, WI - The
final totals are in from a pair of jersey auctions held by the Wisconsin Timber
Rattlers. A live auction following
the final Sunday home game of the 2010 season
and an online auction held after the season ended raised over $3,000 for
Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. Fans
bid on alternate, Brewers-themed jerseys worn by Timber Rattlers players for
Sunday home games during the 2010 season.
The jersey that brought in the highest bid was that of Timber Rattlers slugger Chris Dennis. A Rattlers fan purchased the jersey of Dennis for $275. There were four other jerseys that went for more than $200 in the auction:
-
-
Cutter Dykstra: $225
-
Kentrail Davis: $225
-
Andy Sauter: $225
The design of these Timber
Rattlers jerseys in 2010 was based on the jerseys worn by the Milwaukee Brewers
in1982.
The proceeds - all
$3,376.90 - from the auctions are going to Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.
The Timber Rattlers will be
wearing a different Brewers themed jersey on Sundays during the 2011 season.
