Sioux Falls Storm News Release


The Sioux Falls Storm of United Indoor Football (UIF) is proud to announce the details of the Third Annual "Jersey Off My Back" Fundraiser brought to you by Pro Cellular, your Alltel Authorized Agent. The event will take place at the game on Saturday, July 14. Doors open to the Arena at 6:00 PM where fans can purchase raffle tickets at $5 per ticket or $10 for three tickets. These raffle tickets will put them in a drawing for Storm jerseys that players will wear for Saturday Night's game. The drawing will take place immediately following the game on the field where fans may claim their jersey.

Along with the raffle, there will be a silent auction for seven player jerseys. Silent Auctions will take place for the jerseys of Adam Hicks, Nate Fluit, Paul Keizer, Shannon Poppinga, Mark Blackburn, Terrance Bryant and Justin Landis. Bids for the silent auction will be accepted at the Sprint Fan Zone at the Arena starting at 6:00 PM on Saturday night. All funds raised will benefit Sheilia Saunders. Sheilia Saunders has been battling bone cancer for over a year and the cancer has now become terminal. The insurance company has been denying payments and the medical bills have depleted the Saunders' savings.

Proceeds from the "Jersey Off My Back" fundraiser will go to the Saunders family to help cover medical expenses.

The Storm will host the Billings Outlaws on July 14th at the "Storm Shelter". The game theme will be "Back When I Played Night", which means its time to break out those old high school and college jerseys for Saturday night's game. Individual tickets can be obtained by visiting the Arena Box Office or any Ticketmaster outlet, calling Ticketmaster at 334-8181, or purchasing from ticketmaster.com. Join "The Biggest Show in Town" as the Storm look for three championships in a row in 2007.
