DENVER (Thursday, September 12, 2002) - The Colorado Rapids Community Care Foundation (CRCCF) will host the first annual "Meet and Greet Jersey Auction" on Friday, September 20 at INVESCO Field in conjunction with the club's 2002 regular season finale against the Kansas City Wizards.

One authentic jersey of each Rapids player will be auctioned off with all bids starting at $150.00. To participate in the auction, fans should make their way to the south end of the stadium, above section 133 on the concourse level.
