This is a charity auction run by the University (not the athletic department) so, unlike ebay or the local memorabilia store, you get a tax deductible gift letter from the University for the amount of your bid over and above the cost of the unsigned item (for example a mini-helmet cost is $30, everything above is tax deductible). You give to a great cause, get a great piece of memorabilia and you get a tax deduction too. Lot of win in this deal. Please check it out.

Actually have an endowed fund that gets distributed to Managers who are Seniors each year. Mind reaching out to me via email - wouldn't mind discussing how we could combine efforts.
