APRIL FOOLS' DAY THEME HIGHLIGHTS JERSEY AUCTION BENEFITTING SPECIAL OLYMPICS
Rockford, Ill. – The Rockford IceHogs, proud American Hockey League affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks, announced on Tuesday that they have once again partnered with Special Olympics, Illinois, for the team's 18th Annual Jersey Auction game, sponsored by Insurance King. The event will be held on Saturday, April 1 when the IceHogs host the Grand Rapids Griffins at the BMO Harris Bank Center at 7 p.m.
The 2017 theme features Hammy in motley, a court-jester theme associated with the spirit of April Fools' Day. Rockford's specialty jersey is checkered with the team's colors of red and black, and has one red sleeve and one black sleeve.
Immediately following the IceHogs and Griffins game on April 1, the team will host a live auction on the ice surface of the BMO. Fans attending the game can bid on the specialty game-worn sweaters, with all proceeds from the auction benefiting the IceHogs Charitable Foundation. Following the auction, the IceHogs Charitable Foundation will donate a portion of the jersey proceeds to Special Olympics, Illinois, as well as other local charities.
Last season, the IceHogs "Star Wars" themed jersey raised the highest donation amount in the team's 17-year history of hosting the live auction, totaling $80,828. In 17 seasons, the IceHogs and their fans have donated a combined total of $890,069 to a variety of local charities in the Rockford area, good for an average of $52,357 per season.
