On Saturday the Round Rock Express will auction autographed limited edition Stars and Stripes caps worn by players and coaches and three engraved bats signed by the team to raise support for Jana Almendarez, wife of Express General Manager Chris Almendarez, who has been diagnosed with Glioblastoma.
Glioblastoma is a rare brain tumor that affects between 20,000 and 200,000 people in the U.S. annually, according to an Express news release.
The silent auction for the caps will begin on the concourse behind home plate at 5:30 p.m. and close at 8:30 p.m. Gray wristbands that say ‘Team Jana’ will also be available for $10 at the Dell Diamond and T-shirts will be available in mid-July for a $25 donation. Proceeds will benefit the Almendarez family. T-shirt orders can be emailed to
[email protected].
Express officials have asked fans to show their support for the Almendarez family through the social media hashtag #TeamJana.
