Over the last 12 days, we have all seen the horrific images coming from Haiti. The numbers are staggering. At least 150,000 people killed. Hundreds of thousands more are homeless.
Since the 7.0 earthquake hit on Jan. 12, incredible organizations like the American Red Cross, the World Food Program, and Partners in Health have been on the front lines providing round-the-clock relief effort.
If youve been asking yourself, What can I do to help? Heres a great opportunity to get involved, and youll get some special White Sox prizes on top of it.
MLB
A White Sox bat signed by Ozzie Guillen, Paul Konerko, Bobby Jenks, Alexei Ramirez, Matt Thornton, J.J. Putz, and Mark Kotsay
Two lower level box seats to a White Sox game in 2010
The White Sox 2005 World Series 7-DVD Collection Edition (full broadcasts of all four World Series games, the clinchers against Red Sox and Angels, plus bonus DVD)
A Tommy Bahama Hawaiian Shirt (like Hawk Harrelson wears). Would be great for summeror Halloween.
Weve put the entire package up for bid on Ebay. The minimum bid is 500. All the proceeds will go to the American Red Cross. For the generous winner, we can ship the prizes to you, or you can pick them up at Comcast SportsNet, where I will personally give you a tour of the CSN studios. Maybe we can kick David Kaplan out of the chair that day, and you can host Chicago Tribune Live. Well, maybe not.
The auction closes on Thursday, Jan. 28 at 3:23 p.m.
Good luck!
