Aiden's Auction 7/31 To Help Local Infant Battling Cancer. Caps Items Up For Grabs *UPDATED

Aiden is a little boy who hasn't even seen his first birthday, but is already involved in a fight that most of us rink rats (thankfully) can't relate to. 

This past spring, Aiden was diagnosed with Rhaddomyosarcoma, a soft tissue cancer. He is now battling through a 43 week chemotherapy/radiation cycle in which he and his family need to travel back and forth from DC to Boston for treatments. So far, the news has been good and Aiden is responding to the early stages of Chemotherapy. 

To help Aiden and his family in their time of need, friends have planned a series of local fundraisers in the Northern Virginia area, including an upcoming auction which is being held on July 31st in Leesburg, VA.

Check out the auction home page HERE

There will be some very cool Capitals related merchandise available to bid on.

The Capitals community relations department were kind enough to donate a signed Mike Knuble puck.

My friend Melissa trains with Dynamic Sports Performance, which is run by Capitals strength coach Mark Nemish, who was able to secure Mike Knuble and Brendan Morrison autographed game/practice used sticks for the auction.

Brian Pothier is a client of a company another friend of the family works for, and he kindly donated signed gloves & a signed game used helmet.

Natalie R provided an Autographed Michal Neuvirth puck

I am donating some Capitals Bobbleheads (Alex Ovechkin, Bruce Boudreau) as well as a trio of tickets to the Capitals vs Islanders on 10/13 (shout out to Marc from Faceoff Hockey Show for one of those tickets).

Turnituptoeleven donated an Alex Ovechkin signed puck

Someone else donated a Caps Jersey autographed by the entire 09-10 team. 

Non Capitals related items will also be available including

- MMA autographed memorabilia from Frankie Edgar, Randy Couture, Frank Mir and more

- Washington Redskins, Washington Nationals, Baltimore Orioles tickets & Items, 

- Frank Vincent (Goodfellas, Casino, and Sopranos star) signed baseball bat.
