The Nashville Predators and Nashville Predators Foundation announced that they will hold an online auction in order to help Texas and all surrounding areas affected by Hurricane Harvey.
“The Nashville Predators Foundation is happy to partner with several organizations to help provide relief to all areas affected by the hurricane,” Nashville Predators Foundation Senior Director Rebecca King said. “Nashville experienced a flood in 2010 and we remember how impactful the community’s donations and time were to helping us rebuild.”
Fans will be able to bid Thursday - Tuesday, Oct. 10.
Auction items include a Pekka Rinne goalie mask, designed to benefit victims of the hurricane, which will be used during the Preds home opener on Tuesday, Oct. 10 against Philadelphia. The winner will get the mask signed postgame by Pekka himself.
Fans can also expect to see other great items, including a Ryan Johansen locker with his signed nameplate and jersey. To participate in the auction, text Houston to 52182. Auction closes Tuesday, Oct. 10.
Along with an online auction, the Preds have created a ticket offer with 100 percent of the ticket revenue through its promotional code benefiting Houston-area victims.
