Wooldridge Donates Items to Coaches Care Auction

MANHATTAN, Kan. Kansas State head coach Jim Wooldridge has donated two tickets behind the bench for the Wildcats’ game with Texas on Feb. 22 as well as a team-autographed basketball as part of the Coaches All Across America’s effort to assist Gulf Coast citizen rebuilding from Hurricane Katrina.

“We wanted to do something to help those affected by Hurricane Katrina,” said Wooldridge. “We are proud to join forces with coaches across the U.S. in raising money for those affected by this terrible tragedy. We hope that people will bid generously to help our friends in the Gulf Coast region.”

This game-day experience, as well as dozens of other items from professional sports franchises and college teams, is being auctioned off online at www.allcoachescare.com. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go directly to Habitat from Humanity, a non-profit organization that builds homes for low income families.

Wooldridge has donated two tickets behind the Wildcats’ bench to the Feb. 22, 2006 game against Texas at Bramlage Coliseum, which will be televised nationally by ESPN2. The package also includes an opportunity to attend the team’s game day shootaround and pre-game meal as well as a basketball autographed by the 2005-06 Kansas State team. Those interested in bidding on the package can directly access it at www.allcoachescare.com/auction.html. Bidding will last until Oct. 1.

AllCoachNetwork.com and Coaches All Across America have teamed up to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. The goal of the organizing committee, headed by Virginia Tech head coach Seth Greenberg, is to raise money through an online auction and cash donations. AllCoachNetwork.com is administering the auction, which started on Sept. 14 on eBay, in conjunction with Snappy Auctions eBay Drop-Off Stores.

All money raised through the auction will go directly to Habitat for Humanity, which will be administered by www.MissionFish.org, the official non-profit liaison for eBay.
