Exclusive 'Trophy Ring Banner' Worn and Autographed Shooting Shirt Charity Auction
Details for the auction – beginning Thursday, October 19 – including how to participate are available at https://auctions.nba.com/.
Last week the Warriors joined all six other Bay Area professional sports teams – San Francisco 49ers, Oakland A’s, San Jose Earthquakes, San Francisco Giants, Oakland Raiders and San Jose Sharks – and made a collective donation of $450,000 to support North Bay fire relief efforts. The teams established a You Caring site www.youcaring.com/firerelief for fans to donate whatever they can to support the victims of these devastating fires which currently has raised nearly $550,000.
Turner Sports and the NBA have also partnered to support an auction of official game worn jerseys from tonight’s game to raise funding and awareness to benefit ongoing recovering efforts in areas affected by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria.
