Blue Jackets Foundation announces fundraisers supporting Humboldt Broncos

COLUMBUS, OHIO- The Columbus Blue Jackets Foundation announced today plans to enable fans to support the Humboldt Broncos through a stick auction and 50/50 raffle during Games 1 (Thursday, April 12) and 2 (Sunday, April 15) of the Blue Jackets' Stanley Cup Playoffs first-round series against the Washington Capitals. All proceeds from both fundraisers will be donated directly to the
Humboldt Broncos
as they recover and rebuild following the fatal bus accident that occurred as the team was traveling to a playoff game on April 6.

In the spirit of #PutYourSticksOut, each Blue Jackets player on the current roster will donate a signed stick for the online auction. Fans may text CBJAUCTION to 52182 or visit

to bid or make a donation. The auction opens at noon today and will close at the second intermission of the April 15 game.
Those wishing to participate in the Blue Jackets Foundation's 50/50 Raffle presented by KEMBA Financial Credit Union may do so by purchasing raffle tickets online at

. The raffle is open to individuals within the Blue Jackets TV market in the state of Ohio. Ticket sales will open at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 12 and Sunday, April 15 and close at the end of the second intermission on the respective nights. The winner, who collects 50% of the pot, will be chosen during the third period of each game. The remaining 50% will be donated to the Broncos.
