LAST CHANCE TO BID ON PENS AUCTION ITEMS
Posted on February 24, 2012
Pittsburgh Penguins fans can
bring home an autographed All-Star jersey, ride a Zamboni or dine in the
exclusive Lexus Club at CONSOL Energy Center. All it takes is a winning bid in
the fourth Pittsburgh Penguins online auction to benefit Cal U. Bidding opens on Feb. 26 at www.pittsburghpenguins.com. Online
bidding closes on March 7, 2012. Cal U is the official education partner of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Proceeds
from the online auction support the Pittsburgh Penguins Scholarship, awarded annually to a Cal U student. Penguins superstars Evgeni
Malkin, Sidney Crosby and James Neal have each signed a jersey to be auctioned
as a package with a miniature helmet and puck. Two All-Star packages feature
an official program and an All-Star jersey signed either by Malkin or Kris
Letang. Bidders can win a round of golf
at Mystic Rock and lunch for two guests with Penguins’ broadcaster Phil
Bourque, or a T-shirt collection and a poster autographed by play-by-play
announcer Mike Lange. Two dinner packages are
available: Either a private dinner for six in the Penguins’ executive dining
room in the Lexus Club, or dinner for two in the Lexus Club, plus Zamboni rides and two tickets to a game. An Iceburgh birthday party for
kids features a one-hour appearance by the Penguins’ mascot, plus an ice cream
cake and 10 autographed pucks. There’s even an official
Pittsburgh Penguins neon clock, featuring the team’s original logo. In all, 11 items are up for
bid. Details are available at www.pittsburghpenguins.com. “Cal U’s partnership with the Pittsburgh Penguins continues to pay off
for our students,” said Craig Butzine, vice president for Marketing and
University Relations. “In addition to working with us on some great events, the Pens have
used online auctions to create a scholarship fund that now holds more than
$20,500. This new auction will help the fund to grow even further — and Pens’
hockey fans won’t want to miss the items up for bid this time around.”
