PATRIOTIC JERSEY AUCTION ENDS TONIGHT
All Proceeds Benefit the QuackerJack Foundation
(Central Islip, N.Y., Aug., 6, 2011) – The Long Island Ducks Patriotic Jersey Auction (photo above) will conclude at the seventh inning stretch of tonight’s (Saturday, August 6) game. Fans can bid on the game-worn camouflage jerseys of their favorite Ducks players, which the Ducks sported on July 23’s “Military Appreciation Night” and will wear again tonight as part of “Tribute to America Night.”
Bids started at $75 and will be raised in minimum $10 increments. Fans interested in bidding can do so by visiting the auction tables located on the main concourse across from the Waddle In Shop tonight. Bids will also be accepted over the phone until game time (7:05 PM) 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.
