Specialty Theme Jersey Fundraisers and Collection Dates Announced for 2024

MADISON, Ala. – The Rocket City Trash Pandas will host six specialty jersey fundraisers, five donation drives, and additional community outreach nights to benefit local non-profit organizations during the 2024 season at Toyota Field.

“Game worn specialty jersey auctions encompass so much of what the Trash Pandas organization strives for,” explains Executive Vice President Lindsey Knupp. “When the Trash Pandas wear these specially designed jerseys, they are a fun way for fans to see the team engage with the theme night we’re presenting. Fans of the players, and the theme itself, have the opportunity to take home one-of-a-kind memorabilia. At the same time, we’re raising funds for not only the Trash Pandas Foundation, but also a worthy organization in our community.”
