The jerseys will be available for "blind auction" beginning at 5:45 p.m. until the end of the 2nd intermission. Fans wishing to bid can do so behind Section 117, with the starting bid for each jersey starting at $100. The jerseys are courtesy of Northside Auto Group.

Last year's event raised $20,642.73 which led to Megan Dubas (Director of Game Day Operations & Community Relations) being nominated and recipient of "New Community Event Organizer" at the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation Volunteer Awards Ceremony.
