Generals Top $50,000 with 2024 Jersey Auctions for Charity
The Generals wrapped up their season this past weekend as the TCL champs with their best record in franchise history. Not only did the Generals hoist the Haddock Trophy, they were champions off the field as well raising money for charity. With 2024 marking the 11th season the Generals have raised money through their charity auctions. In 11 seasons, the Generals have raised an amazing $421,300 through their three charity jersey auctions.
The first jersey auction was held on June 6th as players and coaches wore commemorative jerseys that for the first time would be auctioned off prior to the game. The patriotic jerseys paid tribute to our military this season and were auctioned off to benefit Warrior's Weekend thanks to our jersey sponsor Scherer Kubota. The event brought in $19,300 for the Warrior's Weekend Organization and showed how well our community supports our troops! Over the past eleven seasons, the Warrior's jerseys have brought in just over $200,000 for Warriors Weekend!
The second jersey auction for 2024 was held on June 27th with players and coaches wearing PURPLE jerseys to benefit the Alzheimer's Association sponsored by Edward Jones. The auction was a huge success bringing in almost $18,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association. Over the past nine seasons, the purple jerseys have brought in just over $105,000 towards Alzheimer's research.
Our final jersey auction was held on July 27th as players, coaches and special guests wore PINK jerseys to benefit the fight against cancer thanks to our jersey sponsor Citizens Medical Center. The auction was a success bringing in $12,725 on the evening. Over the past eleven seasons, the pink jerseys have brought in over $115,000 to go towards cancer awareness and the fight against cancer!
The three special nights brought in $50,025, our second largest total ever (2019 $55,950) for these three organizations and really shows how our fans support these great causes. The Generals will take to the cause again in 2025 in hopes to top the $500,000 mark in our 12 seasons with these awesome charities. The Victoria Generals organization would like to thank everyone for their generosity and we look forward to future jersey auctions to continue supporting these organizations.
