The Idaho Steelheads announced today the team will hold a jersey
auction to benefit pediatric programs at St. Luke’s*Idaho Elks
Rehabilitation Services during this week’s three-game series against
the Phoenix RoadRunners in partnership with SLIERS and Boise State
University.
The jerseys are Boise State University blue and
orange in color, adorned with the Steelheads logo front and center also
in blue and orange, and the BSU Broncos logo on each shoulder. The St.
Luke’s*Idaho Elks Rehabilitation Services logo is on the back of the
jersey.
The Steelheads will wear the jerseys beginning
Wednesday night. Bids, beginning at $200, will be accepted on players’
jerseys at silent auction tables set up on the concourse. A jersey may
be bought outright for $2,000. The auction will close as the puck drops
on the third period, Saturday night. Winning bidders will be presented
the jersey off the players’ back immediately following Saturday’s game.
St.
Luke’s*Idaho Elks Rehabilitation Services is a not-for-profit 501-c3
organization that is dedicated to meeting the health care needs of the
community. The SLIERS pediatric program encompasses a wide range of
service needs, and are provided regardless of the ability to pay.
Whether the service is traditional physical, occupational or speech
therapy, medical outreach for youth programs, or a camp for children
with special needs, SLIERS provides the same exceptional care to
everyone.
“With the generous support of our community partners
such as the Idaho Steelheads, Boise State Broncos and their fans, we
will be able to continue to provide care to those most in need,” said
Jean Mutchie, Director of Marketing for SLIERS. “We thank everyone for
their support.”
This is the second auction the Idaho
Steelheads have done in partnership with St. Luke’s*Idaho Elks
Rehabilitation Services. $11,740 was raised through a jersey auction
benefiting autistic programs at SLIERS during a three-game series
against the Alaska Aces last March.
Tickets are still
