The virtual auction, accessible through UHEvent.com, will commence at 6 p.m. today and run through 10:30 p.m. Saturday, March 9.
Registration for the auction is free, and all proceeds will directly benefit the scholarship fund, which provides support to student-athletes across various sports programs.
“We encourage all of our fans and supporters everywhere to participate in this auction to support our wonderful student-athletes,” UH Athletics Director Craig Angelos said. “We saw great success with our ‘Hawaiian Nights’ jersey for women’s basketball and are eager to continue the momentum.”
”The great part of the ‘Island Heritage’ jersey is it’s a crossover jersey,” UH-Manoa Director of Marketing and Fan Experience Eric Matthews said. “It’s a nod to baseball coaching legend Les Murakami with their iconic color combination while giving the fans something special for the evening.”
