Cricket unites behind charity auction
Tuesday 26th May 2020
The Ultimate Kent Spitfires Vitality Blast Experience and a Kent Cricket 150th Year Bundle are amongst the lots in an online charity cricket auction supported by all 18 first class counties in partnership with the ECB, PCA and MCC.
A catalogue of 62 lots are now open for bidding at cricketauction.co.uk where cricket fans can also secure international match hospitality experiences at Lord’s, Kia Oval, Trent Bridge, Edgbaston, Emerald Headingley and Emirates Old Trafford.
The auction forms part of the Together Through This Test campaign, cricket’s co-ordinated response to Covid-19 that seeks to highlight initiatives across the professional and amateur game.
All donors have nominated a charitable cause to receive the proceeds from their lots.
All money raised from the two Kent Cricket lots will be donated to The Rainbow Run’s East Kent Hospitals Charity COVID-19 appeal.
Kent CEO, Simon Storey, said: “We’re proud to be supporting a game-wide effort by including two lots of our own to help build on the phenomenal efforts from this month’s Rainbow Run.
“The spirit of togetherness that the cricket family has shown during this crisis is great to see and we’re fully behind this Charity Auction.”
John Pye Auctions are supporting the initiative by waiving all fees and commissions and will host the lots on their secure online auction platform.
