Mitch Albom’s radiothon offering awesome Red Wings experiences

By @MichaelCaples –

Media personality Mitch Albom is hosting his annual radiothon to raise money for various causes, and this year, he has some pretty remarkable Red Wings experiences up for auction.

Hockey fans can bid on the opportunity to play goaltender against Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg, or – if you’re feeling exhausted just thinking about that – a day with coach Jeff Blashill.

The ‘Day with Blashill’ experience says you would spend the day with the Wings’ coach – practice, coaches’ meetings, etc.

For more info, check out the auction items here. Looks like bidding closes at 9 p.m.

About Albom’s radiothon (from the official website):

“Since that first broadcast, the annual radiothons have raised an additional $2.2 million to help the poor, the homeless, families without homes, children without medical care, students hoping to reach the college of their dreams and veterans who have hit hard times.  All funds raised benefit S.A.Y. (Super All Year) Detroit, an umbrella 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that funds programs like the S.A.Y. Detroit Family Health Clinic, the S.A.Y. Play Center, Working Homes/Working Families, the Dream Scholars, A Time to Help, and several other local charitable efforts who care for Detroit’s neediest and work towards a revitalized Detroit.”
