Trash Pandas Jersey Auctions to Raise Funds for Local Charities
April 14, 2023 - Southern League (SL)
Rocket City Trash Pandas News Release
The Rocket City Trash Pandas are proud to unveil one of their biggest charity fundraisers for the 2023 season, specialty jersey auctions that will occur five times throughout the season.
For each jersey auction, Trash Pandas will wear specialty jerseys for various theme nights at Toyota Field. The autographed, game-worn jerseys will be auctioned online, with the proceeds being split between the Rocket City Trash Pandas Foundation and a local non-profit. Fans do not need to be present at Toyota Field in order to bid in the online jersey auction.
In 2022, the Trash Pandas raised over $100,000 through jersey auctions, benefitting several worthy organizations throughout North Alabama.
"After the success of jersey auctions in 2022, we are looking forward to doing even more in 2023 to give back to our local community," Trash Pandas Community Relations Director Maddison Kendrick said. "Jersey auctions are just one of many ways we help bring awareness to great causes in our area. We are excited to continue to positively impact our community."
