San Jose Giants Announce Ice Bucket Challenge Auction at Municipal Stadium

August 18, 2014

Entire team to take part in auction for the cause with fan participation

San-Jose-GiantsThe San Jose Giants have announced that they will host an Ice Bucket Challenge Auction on Thursday, August 21 to benefit the ALS Emergency Treatment Fund. Fans will be able to bid on the opportunity to pour a bucket of ice water on their favorite San Jose Giants player following the final out. If every player receives a bid during Thursday’s game, San Jose Giants’ mascot Gigante will take the Ice Bucket Challenge and nominate three very special friends. Proceeds from the auction will benefit the San Jose-based ALS Emergency Treatment Fund.

ALS-etf-logo“The Ice Bucket Challenge has grabbed the attention of the nation and in the true spirit of Minor League Baseball we want to involve our community to raise awareness and make an impact,” said Juliana Paoli, Chief Marketing Officer of the San Jose Giants. “This auction represents a tremendous opportunity for our fans, the community and the entire San Jose Giants organization to continue the awesome movement begun by Pete Frates and raise funds for the ALS Emergency Treatment Fund.”

In addition, the San Jose Giants have nominated season ticket holders, sponsors as well as the following media members to take part in the Ice Bucket Challenge at Municipal Stadium on Thursday: Gary, Julie, Indiana Al and Randy from 95.3 KRTY, Sam and Lissa from 94.5 KBAY, Pope and Marla from MIX 106.5, Christina Loren, Raj Matthai and Robert Handa from NBC Bay Area, Vernon Glenn and Roberta Gonzalez from CBS 5, Larry Beil from ABC 7, Andrew Baggarly and Fallon Smith from CSN Bay Area, Brian Murphy and Paul McCaffrey from KNBR and Alex Pavlovic and Bud Geracie from the San Jose Mercury News.

Welcome to clubphilanthropy.com!

Minor League Baseball clubs have been actively involved in their communities for many years. For the first time, their activities and contributions will be chronicled on this site.

Clubs don’t publicize all of their activity, so these stories represent a mere fraction of the contributions MiLB clubs make to their communities every year.
