Monumental Sports and Entertainment announced on Monday that they are holding a Pride Month auction that will benefit SMYAL, a local nonprofit that has empowers LGBTQ youth. The auction begins on June 18, 2020, at 12 PM and ends on June 26, 2020, at 3 PM.
The Washington Capitals, Washington Wizards, and Washington Mystics all contributed items.
Braden Holtby and Brandi Holtby launched an auction on Monday morning entitled ‘Get Off the Bench for Racial Equality.’ The auction will raise money for Black Lives Matter DC and The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. The Holtbys will also donate $5,000 to each organization and match the funds raised through the auction.
The move comes after the Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender released a powerful note on Twitter last week denouncing racism and promising to help the Black Lives Matter movement in whatever way he can.
“Keep fighting, and I vow to demonstrate and educate what you are fighting for,” Holtby wrote. “Not only to myself but my children, family, and anyone else who will listen. Because America will never be great until all BLACK lives matter.”

One of the most sought out game-used jerseys in NHL history could be yours.
The Capitals sweater that Alex Ovechkin scored The Goal in has been put up for auction on Goldin Auctions. Hockey memorobolia collectors will be able to bid on the jersey until Saturday, May 16, 2020, at 10 PM (if I did my math right).

Alex Ovechkin has one of the hardest shots in hockey history and another goal puck has the scars to prove it.
Over the weekend, the NHL put all the Stadium Series goal pucks up for auction and Ovechkin’s is missing a chunk of vulcanized rubber.
It’s the holiday season and we have the perfect way for you to give back. Early Tuesday, we posted a behind the scenes look at Alex Ovechkin’s Papa Johns commercial shoot and in the article, we mentioned how Ovi asked if we could help him out and raise money for charity. Helping out a great cause and our fearless leader? Sign us UP!
The five props listed below are all signed by Ovechkin and they are from the filming Papa John’s commercial which was completed on October 8, 2016. The Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic chapter has posted these items up on eBay and will mail them out to the highest bidder. 100% of the profits will benefit the Mid-Atlantic chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation and their charity alone.
Place your bets to help out Ovi and a very special cause.

According to the site, the October 5, 2005 game-worn jersey, which has “light to moderate game use,” was sported by Ovechkin during the pre-game ceremony and the first period of the Caps’ home opener against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The sweater, later auctioned off in November 2005 as part of the NHL’s Hurricane Katrina Relief fund, features an NHL Cares patch on the front of Washington’s former black Capitol Dome home jersey.
