Due to the recent earthquake in Japan, i think it’s a good time to raise some more money for those in need. similar to last time, i am going to auction off an autographed ball (signed by the whole team), as well as one of my 2010 Real Salt Lake jerseys (that i will sign and personalize for the winner).
Here is how you can win: when you want to bid on one (or both) of the items just respond to this post with a “comment”, explaining which item you are bidding on and how much you would like to bid. please do NOT respond with a bid on facebook or twitter, because then everyone else will be unable to see the highest current bid. The minimum bids are $100 for each item. I will stop the bidding on wednesday, and announce the winner (then i will give the winner details on where to send the money and how they will receive the item that they won).
100 percent of the proceeds will go straight to disaster relief in Japan. Let’s try to help these people in what must be an incredibly difficult time! Start the bidding…
ps. if the winner would prefer a red or yellow jersey (short or long sleeve) instead of a white one, that is fine, it’s your choice!

The Real Salt Lake jersey I would like to bid $100 on. Thanks. By the way, I went to West Islip High School, where your father taught. Thank you.
Chris this is a great cause, and I will post a link to it on my blog. That being said I would like to open the bidding on the jersey at $150.

Leo, i only have short sleeve in the yellow. i apologize, i didnt explain that correctly in the post. i have short sleeve and long sleeve in the white and the red, but only short sleeve in the yellow.
No worries Chris. Short sleeve is fine, although for now it appears I’ve been outbid.
Ok. This is a great idea and we fully support your effort to help the people of Japan, so I will open the bid on the jersey for $100 🙂
