PATRIOTIC JERSEY AUCTION BEGINS
All Proceeds Benefit the QuackerJack Foundation
(Central Islip, N.Y., July 23, 2011) – The Long Island Ducks kicked off their Patriotic Jersey Auction (photo above) on Saturday night, where fans can bid on the game-worn camouflage jerseys of their favorite Ducks players. The Ducks sported the jerseys for the first time on July 23’s “Military Appreciation Night” and will wear them again on Saturday, August 6, as part of “Tribute to America Night.”
Bids will start at $75 and will be raised in minimum $10 increments. The auction will end at the seventh inning stretch of the August 6 game. Fans interested in bidding can do so by visiting the auction tables located on the concourse on July 23 and inside the Waddle In Shop from now until the auction’s conclusion. Bids will also be accepted over the phone by calling the Waddle In Shop at (631) 940-3825 extension 126.
“The Patriotic Jersey Auction is always an exciting time because it gives fans a chance to own their favorite players’ jersey,” says Ducks president and general manager Michael Pfaff. “We have also been able to raise money for the QuackerJack Foundation, while our fans walk away with one-of-a-kind Ducks memorabilia.”
Proceeds from the auction will benefit the QuackerJack Foundation, the charitable arm of the Long Island Ducks. All donations are tax deductible.
The Long Island Ducks play their home games at Bethpage Ballpark and are in their 12th season of play. Tickets for the 2011 season are on sale now. For tickets, stop by the Bethpage Ballpark Box Office, log on to www.liducks.com, or call (631) 940-TIXX.
