Grasshoppers To Host A Live Online Charity Auction

(Greensboro, NC) Get the baseball season started early with the Greensboro Grasshoppers live online charity auction at www.outbid.com. The auction will start at 7:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday April 3. All proceeds from the auction benefit the Gilford’s Kids, a program run by Greensboro Grasshoppers Charities that allows deserving organizations and groups the chance to attend a Greensboro Grasshoppers baseball game.

“Outbid is a great way for Hoppers fans to get a jump on the new season and join us for this special online auction as we raise money for Gilford’s Kids,” said Grasshoppers President and General Manager Donald Moore. “Fans will get a chance to bid on baseballs autographed by the 2012 & 2013 Greensboro Grasshoppers Team and NL Rookie of the Year Bryce Harper, or the chance to watch the game from the 24-Person Luxury Suite at the Grasshopper’s NewBridge Bank Ballpark.”

“Outbid has proven that we are a fantastic platform for charity events and extremely proud to be working with the Greensboro Grasshoppers on our first “local” fundraising effort,” said Outbid CEO Dan Granger. “Anyone can join the auction for free on their iPhone, iPad or computer and experience the thrill of a live online auction with the team that gave current Major League all-stars Giancarlo Stanton, Derek Jeter, Robinson Cano and Mariano Rivera an early jump on their careers.”
