I didn't see an auction for this year. Given the fact that the players read bits about the words on their jerseys, I'm guessing the players may have chosen the words or names this year. I do recall that the word "strong" (or strength) was chosen for a quality of the breast cancer survivor honored at half time.
No auction this year; there was a drawing. Got this email from SWVB on 9/30:
