SU Charity Sports Auction March 29 to benefit Boys & Girls Clubs, feature hundreds of items for bidFebruary 23, 2007Gillian Ottmangeottma@syr.edu

The Syracuse University Sport Management Club will hold its second annual gala Charity Sports Auction on Thursday, March 29, at 5:30 p.m. in the Carrier Dome. The beneficiary will once again be the Boys & Girls Clubs of Syracuse.

The Boys & Girls Clubs offer a safe, supervised setting for children who otherwise would be home alone. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of youth by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.

“The Boys & Girls Clubs of Syracuse is so very thankful for the Sport Management Club’s support of our organization,” says James Czarniak, director of development for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Syracuse. “Funds raised from the auction help the organization keep its doors open to the more than 500 youth who access the clubs on a daily basis. It is great that so many students from Syracuse and the staff take a personal interest in the community around the University. Their hard work will help give youth in Syracuse a safe place to learn and grow, and we cannot thank them enough.”

“Last year, the charity auction raised over $10,000, which supported the Boys & Girls Clubs of Syracuse,” says Michael Veley, director of sport management and event co-chairperson. “Our students, faculty and staff have been diligently working for the past eight months to hopefully double our contribution in 2007.”

Nearly 300 items with values ranging from $10 to $4,000 will be up for bid at the silent auction. The items include a range of sports memorabilia from professional and collegiate sports teams and players, as well as non-sports-related items, such as electronics, jewelry, vacations, restaurant gift certificates and tailgate parties.
