The Asheville Tourists, the Houston Astros’ High-A affiliate, have announced the launch of an online auction aimed at raising funds for hurricane relief efforts. The initiative comes in response to the recent natural disasters that have impacted communities across the southeastern United States, with proceeds from the auction directed toward providing immediate aid and support to those affected.
The auction features a variety of exclusive items and memorabilia, including signed baseballs, jerseys, and limited-edition collectibles from both the Tourists and the Astros. Fans and supporters can bid on these items online, with all funds raised going to local and regional charities actively involved in hurricane recovery efforts.
In a statement, the Asheville Tourists emphasized their commitment to giving back to the community: “We are proud to join forces with our fans and the Houston Astros organization to make a tangible difference in the lives of those impacted by these devastating hurricanes. This auction is a chance for our community to come together and show support in a time of need.”
Astros General Manager Dana Brown also expressed his support for the initiative, highlighting the importance of community involvement and the role sports teams can play in driving positive change. “The Astros organization has always stood by our communities, and we are grateful to the Asheville Tourists for leading this important cause,” said Brown.
The online auction has already generated excitement among fans, with many eager to own a piece of baseball history while contributing to a worthy cause. Bidding is open to the public and will continue through the end of the month, with new items being added daily.
