$55,000: dry cleaning not included

Our friends over at WEEI are noting that their auction of Doc Rivers’ Gatorade-soaked (and autographed) shirt netted $55,000 for the The Shamrock Foundation.  An anonymous bidder put up $35,000 for the shirt. The additional money came from a $10,000 donation from Gatorade and a second anonymous donor, who also called in to pledge $10,000.

In addition, the Celtics brass is offering another $35,000 donation if the bidder agrees to loan out the shirt to the Green for events during the season.

(A side auction of the shirt I spilled Pepsi on while watching Game 6 got no bidders. And I’ll have to pay for my own dry cleaning, apparently.)
