Fans have until the doors open until the end of the second-period intermission to place a bid at the Catholic Charities table in the lobby of the Cool Insuring Area.

The proceeds of the auction go towards the charity's mission to help those in need during the holidays. Anyone who donates to the charity will also get a free Adirondack Thunder decal.

The first 1,000 kids on-site on November 30 will get a free youth jersey for the team's 10th anniversary. On December 14, the first 1,000 to attend will get a free firefighter helmet and there will be a teddy bear toss as well as a first responders night. Fans can bring a stuffed animal to toss onto the ice after the Thunder score.
