Lions in the Community: Pink jersey auction a major successOver $3,000 raised in jersey auction, nearly $8,000 in overall pink jersey sales
Saturday's crowd of more than 7,200 came out to support Orlando, who were proudly wearing their pink jerseys, that were being auctioned for Women Playing for T.I.M.E.After kick-off of the game against the Rochester Rhino's, the bids for the special pink jerseys nearly doubled. After 184 bids, the teams pink jerseys raised more than $3,330 for WPFT, raising nearly $1,000 more than last year's pink jersey auction. Five of the pink jerseys bids reached $200 before ending, with #1 Miguel Gallardo's and #14 Luke Boden's bids hitting the $250 mark. An extra $4,500 is hoping to be raised for WPFT from the jerseys bought at the merchandise stands in the Citrus Bowl and the pink jerseys bought at some Orlando Health locations (including ORMC, MD Anderson-Orlando, South Seminole Hospital and Dr. P. Phillips Hospital). Pink jerseys will be available soon at the Orlando Health locations. Did you win the auction? CONGRATULATIONS!!! The bidders with the winning bids will be contacted individually.
