2018 Bids for the Braves - October 27

I wanted to put this out for everyone's information. The annual Braves Club Auction - Bids for the Braves - is happening at the Coliseum on October 27 at 5 pm. Tickets are $100 each or you and your closest 9 friends can go for $1000.

New this year is that if you are not able to attend in person you can buy a 'ticket' to mobile bid on the silent auction for $25. This gives you access to bid on Bradley Athletics experiences, Bradley memorabilia, and other great items. It is an opportunity for out of towners to get in on the action.

There are a ton of cool things in the auction - vacations, experiences, etc. But there are some really cool things for Bradley diehards.

Honorary coach for the mens basketball games vs. Loyola and ISU.
Steak cook out with you and friends at Brian and Lecia Wardle's home.
9 and dine at Mt. Hawley with Lecia and Brian Wardle.
Travel with the team on the private charter plane to Missouri State.
Kids "honorary" cheerleader for a game.
Experiences from all 13 of the teams and experiences in and around Bradley Athletics.

There is also an adult fantasy camp with the mens basketball staff. You can relive (or pretend you had) your glory days. It is a day long experience going through actual drills, breaking down game tape from BU games, have lunch, scrimmage, and get a behind the scenes look at the facilities and process. Last year guys from mid 20s to early 60s participated and had a great time.

There is a similar event for the ladies this year. A women's evening of wine, appetizers, and behind the scenes talks with the coaching staff and their wives at the RC. Coach and Lecia will talk basketball, life, and all sorts of things.

All the details is or will be posted on the following links. Any questions that can't be answered there direct to 309-677-2667 or email at [email protected].

Any age above 25 (I believe) is welcome. If you are interested in the fantasy camp or chalk talk events but cannot make the auction, PM me and I can help make arrangements to purchase entry to either.
 
Just a couple weeks out from the auction - tickets and table are starting to get limited. Lots of great BU experiences, memorabilia, and other great items to bid on.

A couple interesting things for those who have too much BU stuff already...

A picnic table made out of bleacher seats from Robertson Memorial Field House.

A Bradley branded full sized soda machine..possibly full of beverages.

Perfect additions to the BU man cave that has it all...
 
Friday is the last day to register for a mobile bidding ticket if you??™re interested in bidding on things in the silent auction. You can purchase a mobile bid ticket at this link : https://bradley.ejoinme.org/2018bidsforbraves

The catalog is pretty much complete. https://bradley.ejoinme.org/MyEvent...fortheBravesCatalog/tabid/989122/Default.aspx

Some highlights-
Custom home and away BU UA jerseys
Picnic table made from Fieldhouse bleacher seats (local delivery included)
Refurbished seat from the Fieldhouse
Behind the scenes gameday with Bobby Parker
Buy Shea Stadium for a day for your kids/grandkids soccer team to play on.
And a ton of other BU experiences...
 
well, I am disappointed again - altho not surprised...

not a single mention of coverage by any media, press, whatever about the biggest event Bradley puts on for fundraising...

We used to get a report on the auction but those days are obviously over...

anyway - reportedly it went well and some individuals have provided some photos...

I think these costumes win hands down
....Kavanaugh & Chrissy...
