Or how about spending an hour learning how to tackle from John Shevlin? Or learning to rebound from former Gopher Jeff Hagen? Or how about throwing out the first pitch at a Minnesota Twins game?
Thanks to all those that got your bids in - there are only two days left to bid on these great items.
All of these amazing experiences are available at the silent auction at the
3rd Annual Tix for Tots special event held on July 20, 2008 with a picnic held in conjunction with the Minnesota Twins.
Over the past seven years Tix for Tots has donated over 200,000 tickets for kids to discover the thrills and magic of sporting and cultural events throughout
the Twin Cities.
The opportunity to attend a Gopher football practice and eat a meal with the team and staff is made possible by the generosity of the Gopher football program.
This experience can only be used by a child no older than 8th grade, and one adult can accompany the child to the practice and meal. Specific dates
to be agreed upon by the auction winner and the Gopher football program, but it will be during the dates of August 12 - November 20, 2008.
The opportunity to train or practice with former Gopher John Shevlin and/or Jeff Hagen (separate auctions and experiences) is made possible by the generous
donation of Shevlin and Hagen, respectively.
