Over the weekend, the Sixers Youth Foundation wrapped up its first-ever game-worn sneaker auction, presented by Snipes.
The virtual event raised over $300,000, which Marjorie Harris, who chairs the Sixers Youth Foundation, and her husband and 76ers Managing Partner, Josh, pledged to match.
Some @sixers news, just in:
Donations for the Sixers Youth Foundation (including the game-worn sneaker auction) have now surpassed $300K.
Josh and Marjorie Harris continue to match the donations, now raising $600K for local youth.
The auction launched May 6th, and finished when Saturday s 118-104 win over the Detroit Pistons went final.
Two of the shoes fetched five figures.
The Very Rev Christopher Lewis Dean with Rt Rev John Pritchard Bishop of Oxford In her 26th year as warden at the village’s St Andrew’s Church, Mrs Harris received the Maundy money in recognition of her service to the church and the community. During the service, the Queen walked around the cathedral, assisted by the Yeomen of the Guard, to hand out the coins to Maundy recipients from Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. Mrs Harris, who attended the service with her husband Dennis, 82, curtsied before accepting two purses of coins, one red and one white. She added: “It’s been a wonderful day and I’m going to tell people at church all about it.”
