Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. – For the final time during the 2016 season, the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters will wear alternate jerseys for their game on Saturday, August 6th against the Kenosha Kingfish. Christmas in August will be the theme for the night and the jerseys will resemble elf jackets. Fans can submit an online bid (starting at $55) for as many jerseys as they’d like. Bidding will continue through the game on August 6th 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 6th inning during game. 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 to benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Wisconsin Rapids.
