The Seahawks are a fabulous organization. I went to the odd game back in the 90's. And when I hadn't been for a while I'd get a call from their marketing group. That used to amaze me. What really blew me away was I was volunteering for a junior hockey booster club and I organized a fundraiser auction. I wrote to every profession sports team in North America asking for donated items. I would say about 75% of the teams sent me stuff. Hockey teams mostly sent stuff like autographed pucks and various swag. The Montreal Canadiens sent a boat load of stuff. Not so much big ticket items but still pretty cool. Autographed photos, calendars, pucks. The Canucks sent us some tickets and assorted items.
The Seahawks sent me a pair of game worn football shoes. They literally had grass all over them. I forget the name of the player but they were shoes of the middle linebacker.
The Dallas Cowboys sent me a banner autographed by Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson. The junior team actually held the Dallas Cowboys banner back from the auction and gave it to me as a going away gift (I was being transferred by work right around the auction period). It still hangs on my wall.
It was pretty neat to see this stuff come in the mail. The Seahawks donation was pretty unique.
