Leprechaun Themed Jersey with Proceeds Benefitting the Witter Field Mural Project

Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. – The first opportunity of the season to win a game-worn Rafters jersey is coming up on Tuesday, June 2 with the Advanced Disposal “Summertime St. Patty’s Day” leprechaun themed jersey auction. Starting today, you can submit an online bid (starting at $50) for as many jerseys as you’d like. Bidding will continue during the game on June 2 during which fans will have the chance to match and continue to bid in-person. The auction will end with the last out in the bottom of the 7th inning and winners will be announced in the 8th inning. Winners do not need not to be in attendance, but it is recommended. ($5 will be added for shipped orders). Proceeds from the auction will go towards the Witter Field mural project.
