Rockford IceHogs News Release
Rockford, Ill. - The American Hockey League's Rockford IceHogs hosted their 16th Annual Jersey Auction Sunday afternoon at the conclusion of their game with the Texas Stars and this year's auction raised a franchise record amount.
The IceHogs skated to a 4-3 win over the Stars, and throughout the afternoon collected $79,920 for local initiatives. The funds were raised via a live post-game jersey auction on the BMO Harris Bank Center ice surface, an in-game jersey raffle and a blind silent auction on the concourse. After 16 years of the event, the IceHogs organization has raised $809,230 for Rockford-area charities.
For this year's auction, the IceHogs teamed up with The Autism Program, the largest statewide provider of autism services in the United States. Aside from The Autism Program, a portion of the proceeds will go to the IceHogs Charitable Foundation which will donate to a number of local non-profit organizations. Beneficiaries of the IceHogs Charitable Foundation include the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America, Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Rockford and the Jr. IceHogs.
