IN STADIUM AUCTIONS In addition to the commemorative jersey auctions, at each Chicago Fire home game, the Foundation auctioned exclusive, autographed memorabilia including jerseys from the Chicago Fire and the visiting team, soccer balls, cleats and player photographs. The auctions were held at the Chicago Fire Foundation tent, with all proceeds benefiting the Chicago Fire Foundation.
50/50 RAFFLE For the 10th season, the Chicago Fire Foundation conducted a 50/50 raffle at each home game. From the time gates opened through halftime, fans had the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets. The winner received half of all proceeds raised that game, and the other half went to the charitable organization that sold the tickets. With the help of these organizations, the Foundation was able to raise more than $50,000. The following organizations benefited from the 50/50 Raffle fundraiser in 2013: Amundsen High School, Bethel College, Carl Schurz High School, The C.H.A.M.P.S. Community Project, Crece Foundation, John Marshall Law School, G.L.A.S.A., Naperville Jaycees, Rotary Club of Moraine Valley, USO, Streetwise, and West Chicago AYSO. 2013 annual report
