The web auction will run until noon on Saturday, at which time the highest bids on each jersey will be used as the starting bids for the live silent auction during Lugnut Charities Night, presented by Dan Henry Distributing.
Fans unable to attend Lugnut Charities Night are encouraged to place the highest possible bid on their favorite jersey for the best chance to win.
At the conclusion of the live silent auction, the winning bidders will receive their jersey from the Lugnuts players during a ceremony immediately after the game.
There will be several presentations throughout Lugnut Charities Night with the Lugnuts' partner charities: Ele's Place, Capital Area United Way, H.O.P.E. Scholarship Fund, Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan, and Impression 5 Science Center.
Following the post-game jersey ceremony, fans will be treated to a spectacular LAFCU Fireworks show.
