Louisville, KY – Each season the Fire run a special promotion were Fire fans can buy a jersey right off of their favorite players backs. Last season the Fire wore red jerseys in honor of Special Olympics but this year the Fire are going green. The Fire are wearing green jerseys for Louisville’s own Brightside. Moore Security is proud to sponsor the jerseys for this season’s auction.

“We have enjoyed working with Brightside and we know this event will be a success,” stated Stacey Groneck, Director of Corporate Sales. “I hope that we will be able to continue a partnership in the future.”

In addition to all of the proceeds from the jersey auction, the Fire are going to donate a $1.00 from each ticket sold to city employees to Brightside.

Brightside was launched in 1986 by Mayor Jerry Abramson and Brightside is uniting people in clean and green activities to beautify the city and foster community pride. It is unique because it functions as a public/private partnership, merging the resources of the Metro government with those of private citizens. All of the Brightside programs are run entirely on privately donated dollars. All of their accomplishments were made possible with the support from their donors, sponsors, and volunteers. For more information about Brightside visit their website www.louisvilleky.gov/Brightside.

The jersey auction will take place right after the game on the field. Last season the Fire raised $3,300 for the Special Olympics. All 19 jerseys sold for at least $100 and the highest jersey was former Fire defensive back Nate Green’s for $500. Former Fire quarterback Joel Steele’s, Georgia Force star Tiger Jone’s, and former kicker Dave Hendrix’s jerseys sold for more than $300.

The Fire take on the Albany Conquest on Saturday, July 12, 2008 at 7:00 PM. The Fire will also be having a tailgate party on the back side of Freedom Hall in Parking Lot E. There will be $1.00 beer and hot dog specials, as well as, inflatables for children and B96.5.
