We were at HLS would like to both congratulate and thank Marlon, Thomas, and Mark for their winning bids in the ticket auction!
Thus far, we have raised $2,700 for charity. I say thus far because we are still sorting some things out with the Georgia Tech tickets. You might just be able to come in and swipe them.
This is also the first year that HLS readers consistently beat the pants of my local ND Alumni Club’s ticket auction for every pair of tickets sold. Y’all came out in force this season and we can’t thank you enough.
One of the great things about being a part of HLS is getting to do things like this for charity. Every year, this ticket auction has been a fantastic way to give back to the university that we all love. Several members of the HLS staff will also donate their earnings to Kelly Cares at the end of the year. In 2012, y’all helped an amazing kid not just go to a national title game, but also helped his mother purchase a van that they desperately needed. This year, y’all have also come together to help the Savin’ Aven campaign and made a major impact on a family that has zero connection with Notre Dame.
Working here at HLS is largely a labor of love. Any money made here could hardly be considered a secondary income. We are simply a group of guys and gals, alumni and subway alumni, that have a burning passion for the Fighting Irish. We are all incredibly thankful that we have a platform like HLS that allows us to share this passion with such a large audience. And when we can look at the work that we’ve done covering a football team and know that we’ve made an impact in things that matter so much more in the grand scheme of things, we can’t help but swell with pride.
However, make no mistake, none of this happens without each and every one of you, Loyal Readers. Whether you bid in the auction, shared the info, or even shared an article that got a curious eye on the auction banner, you made this happen.
Thank you.
