Reign Jerseys Auctioned to Help Loma Linda University Children's Hospital
Fans who bought the special edition jerseys were also given painted handprints done by the players and patients at the hospital.
The Ontario Reign took the shirts off their backs to help Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital on Saturday night.
The special edition jerseys, featuring purple and emerald streaks, and children’s handprints, were auctioned off after Ontario’s 2-1 loss to Bakersfield at Citizens Business Bank Arena.
Each auctioned jersey also came with a canvas featuring the handprint and autograph of a player and a patient that were made during a Reign visit to the hospital Oct. 29.
