Tom “Tonto” Kackley, the clubhouse manager for the Trenton Thunder, dropped me an e-mail this afternoon regarding an eBay auction that he’s running to raise funds to support Domestic Violence Project, Inc.

After reading his note, I checked out the website for the Trenton Thunder and saw, related, they had the following message posted:

SUPPORT THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PROJECT – BID ON UNIQUE THUNDER ITEMS

Trenton Thunder Clubhouse Manager, Tom “Tonto” Kackley, is holding his annual charity auction to benefit the Domestic Violence Project.

Many great items are available for auction, including a bat that Reggie Jackson signed during one of his trips to Trenton, and game used items from many of your favorite Thunder players, including Austin Jackson, Brett Gardner and Francisco Cervelli. Items will continue to be posted through Saturday (11/8) and the auctions will run until approximately November 20th.

Over $5,000 was raised last season, and hopefully more money can be raised this season. CHECK IT OUT

I also followed the link to Kackley’s auction on eBay and looked over some of the goodies he has listed there.

Hey, with the holiday season right around the corner, here’s a chance to pick up something for the baseball fan in your life and help a good cause at the same time.

Or, if you’re inclined, you can just make a donation directly to Domestic Violence Project, Inc.
