An online auction is now under way for Seahawks fans looking to get Seahawks license plate n. 00001, featuring the team logo and a “12” flag.
The auction, which began today and runs through Saturday, will benefit Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll’s A Better Seattle, an initiative working to reduce Seattle area youth and gang violence by forging partnerships that generate opportunities for at-risk youth to take control of their lives and strive for better futures.
“This is a cool opportunity to show your Seahawks’ pride and support A Better Seattle’s work in our community,” said Carroll in a press release.
Seahawks license plates no. 00002 – 00025 were auctioned off earlier this fall to benefit non-profit, InvestED. Over $109,000 was raised. License plate no. 00012 went for over $42,000.
The new Seahawks plate, as well as a Sounders license plate, was unveiled in May at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.
The cost of the new plate is $67.75 for a car or truck with $28 of that going to support InvestED, if you purchase a Seahawks plate, or the Washington State Mentors and the Association of Washington Generals if you purchase a Sounders plate.
Both license plates became available Jan. 2.
