Texas Tornado News Release
The Texas Tornado will be holding a jersey auction at Dr Pepper Arena immediately following the team's game on Saturday, November 19th against the Amarillo Bulls. A portion of the proceeds of the auction will be donated help benefit the Boot Campaign. To honor our veterans, the Tornado will be wearing military-themed jerseys during Military Appreciation Night presented by ERASE Enterprises. The live auction will be held on the ice, and each of Saturday's game-worn jerseys will be up for bidding.
The Boot Campaign is a grassroots military appreciation and veteran awareness campaign started by five women from Texas, known as the Boot Girls. The Boot Girls launched the Boot Campaign in 2009 to spread awareness of the needs of military personnel returning home from combat and express gratitude to current military. Through the sale of military combat boots, the Boot Campaign donates proceeds to a group of partner charities that work with soldiers healing from a variety of physical and emotional combat wounds, embodying the campaign motto that, "When They Come Back, We Give Back". www.BootCampaign.com
