Wisconsin Rapids, WI – June 26, 2017.  Fans, here's your chance to win a game-worn American Flag themed jersey! Starting today, you can submit an online bid (minimum bid starting at $80; $110 secures the jersey outright ) for as many jerseys as you'd like, that will carry over into Thursday’s doubleheader on June 29th during which fans will have the chance to match & continue to bid in-person. The auction will end with the last out in the bottom of the 5th inning of game two of the doubleheader Thursday and winners will be able to claim their jerseys following the game. Winners do not need to be in attendance, but it is recommended. Should a bid be won online, a member of the Rafters staff will contact you for payment and shipping info. ($5 will be added for shipped orders) Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Never Forgotten Honor Flight, which is an organization that flies veterans in the region who served during World War II, the Korean War, or the Vietnam eras to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials built in their honor.

 

To place your bid please e-mail emily@raftersbaseball.com with the following information:the player's name, the dollar amount of your bid, your name & your phone number!

Please note: The jersey is American Flag themed. Upon completion of the game, each player will sign his jersey (if indicated during the bidding process) and a member of the Rafters staff will bring those items to the MADA Rafthouse Team Shop at the ballpark. At that time, payment will be needed to obtain said item. If the bid was won online, a member of the Rafters staff will contact you at the latest by noon the following morning.
