He added the field is playable, but the renovations are not completely finished yet.
“We just want people to come out for a fun-filled evening and raise money for a worthy cause.”
At the auction, there will be free finger foods provided. Beverages will need to be purchased.
Approximately 30 to 40 items are scheduled to be auctioned off.
Other items include: autographed Pittsburgh jersey from Doug Roseberry, two Pittsburgh helmets by Tyler Palko and Dave Wannstedt, Franco Harris mini helmet, Lydell Mitchell mini helmet, baseballs by Oliver Perez and Rob Mackowiak from the Pittsburgh Pirates, collector’s set of Richard Petty cereal boxes and Nascar Coca Cola bobblehead collector’s set.
