September 11, 2011 Items
Lots 198 - 219 represent a fine selection of items as worn/used during the September 11, 2011 NFL games. NFL Auction proceeds will be divided equally between Tuesday's Children and MyGoodDeed. Tuesday's Children is a leading organization providing support and services to those who lost a loved one on 9/11, as well as to rescue and recovery workers who responded to the events. As the principle organizer of the September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance, MyGoodDeed is providing a positive, forward-looking way for Americans to honor and remember 9/11 victims, survivors, and first-responders. In addition to the funds raised by the sale of the game worn items, the National Football League and the NFL Players Association had previously committed to contribute $1 million to three memorials and two charities related to the events of September 11, 2001. The NFL and NFLPA will contribute $500,000 to the 9/11 Museum & Memorial in Lower Manhattan, and $250,000 to be divided between the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, PA and the Pentagon Memorial Fund in Washington, D.C.
