Purple Row Cares Auction Items

by jrockies on May 15, 2011 8:08 AM MDT

Purple Row Cares was set up by Charlie77 and holly96 to offer Purple Row apparel to people who support Purple Row. All of the proceeds from these sales have been donated to a charity in the Denver area or sponsored by the Colorado Rockies. To date we have donated to the Mike Coolbaugh Memorial and the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Denver. The last time we had enough to donate Charlie77 came up with a great idea to get Rockies players to autograph some merchandise and then auction it off and donate those proceeds to a charity. Twenty-five dollars ($25) for each item (two baseballs and a Purple Row shirt) was donated to the Colorado Rockies Foundation to get the autographs. As was mentioned in a recent Rockpile the items have come back to Charlie77 and are now on e-bay and ready for everyone to bid on. The items are:

A Todd Helton Autographed Baseball

A Carlos Gonzalez Autographed Baseball

and A Troy Tulowitzki Autographed Purple Row Shirt

Please go bid on these items as currently I am winning all 3 (not that I would mind taking all 3 home with me) and remember all of these proceeds will be turned around and given to another charity of OUR choice. Good luck and have fun.

Charlie77 and holly96, if you have more to add feel free to let me know and I can edit this post.

Thanks, jrockies.

I meant to do a post yesterday, but ran out of time at work and then forgot about it. I don’t have anything to add, but will post a nice big image of all three together:

From left to right, that’s CarGo, Tulo, and Helton.

Also, could another mod FP this later today (maybe this evening, after game is over and wrap is up)? I only seem to be able to delete or hide, not edit. May need to adjust the date so it goes to the top.

I put it on the FP now.

We can do an updated post later in the week as the auctions get close to wrapping up.

I wouldn't worry about the current bid.

fine by me if it does

I’m still winning two items, and the money is for a good cause.

I'm not rooting against you, I hope it didn't sound that way..

I’m surprised by the amount of bids especially earlier in the week. I’ll be watching for the next half hour. I’m ready to run to the post office as soon as the payment is complete.
