SYRACUSE, N.Y. (NCC News) — When Syracuse Men’s Basketball battles LSU at the JMA Wireless Dome on Tuesday night, the game won’t be the only thing fans have to enjoy.
Syracuse University’s Sport Management Club will present the 19th annual charity sports auction during the game. Some of the items available for bidding were displayed inside the Dome on Monday morning.
This year’s auction seeks to raise funds for Tillie’s Touch, a non-profit dedicated to helping youth overcome barriers and maintaining a 100% high school graduation rate. Over $665,000 have been raised for various organizations since the charity auction began.
Featured items this year include a football signed by Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill, a baseball signed by Seattle Mariners legend Ichiro Suzuki, and a basketball signed by former SU guard Buddy Boeheim.
The auction will take place in the backcourt of the Dome during the Syracuse-LSU game on Tuesday.
