LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The Louisville Bats are currently auctioning their 2015 digital camouflage uniforms to benefit the Kentucky-Indiana chapter of the Paralyzed Veterans of America. Fans may bid on the jerseys at bats.milbauctions.com until 10 p.m. on Monday, September 28 with 100 percent of the funds being donated to the local PVA chapter. The Bats and the PVA thank Koetter Construction for making these jerseys possible.
"We are always thrilled to be able support the veterans in our area, especially those whose lives changed so drastically after their service," said Bats Senior Vice President Greg Galiette. "We were reminded of the sacrifices these fine men and women made each time the team took the field wearing these jerseys."
The Bats went 6-5 while wearing the camouflage jerseys in their nine Sunday home games, on July 3 and on Memorial Day. Current Reds such as Sam LeCure, Michael Lorenzen, Raisel Iglesias, Eugenio Suarez and Kristopher Negron sported the Bats' first ever camouflage jersey during the 2015 campaign. Their jerseys are among many others currently being auctioned.
A nonprofit organization, many of PVA's volunteers are dedicated veterans who have taken up the cause to not only fight on the battlefield together, but on the battlefield at home. The mission of the Kentucky-Indiana PVA chapter is to improve the quality of life of U.S. Military Veterans and others with spinal cord dysfunction through the use of advocacy, research, sports and recreation, education and communication.
The PVA works continuously to raise awareness of the issues that paralyzed veterans face every day. There are a variety of ways to help. Visit www.kipva.org to become a volunteer, donor, sponsor or learn about supporting the group at its events.
