Raise Money for Tyler's Endowment AND Get Yourself Some Great Swag

Purdue’s next game is this Saturday vs Nebraska. It will be the Hammer Down cancer game and Purdue will be wearing special black and yellow jerseys for the event:

And you know what the best part is? You can own that jersey right there. In fact, you can get your grubby hands on the jerseys of every Purdue player if you’re willing to donate for it. There’s currently an auction going on for those jerseys — you can choose which to bid on — and the proceeds go to Tyler’s cancer research endowment at Purdue.

So maybe you were thinking you wanted to donate more in Tyler’s memory….well, here’s the perfect opportunity. If you win the auction, you not only donate but you get a game-worn jersey.

Carsen’s is currently at $1,280 but for those of us who don’t have a money tree in our backyard, there are other options down in the $300s and $400s. Sure, it’s not nothing, but for a donation and collection of Purdue memorabilia, it’s a nice opportunity.

As an aside, I’m sure it will surprise nobody that the race for second place on the jersey bids is between Trevion Williams and…….Tommy Luce. Because of course you’d want the King of Mackey’s jersey.
