Gaff also has donated two Gaffight ice fishing poles. One is a Green Bay Packer theme and the other is Black and Gold. There also will be an autographed baseball signed by Seattle Mariners manager Eric Wedge.

The auction begins at 5:30 p.m. so get there early to eat and bid on your favorite items. Justin Gaerte, a former Eagle baseball player and a 1997 graduate will be the auctioneer for the event.
