Lefebre jersey sells for $1,130!

Superbowl Sunday marked the end of Week 2 of the Jerseys for St. Jude auctions. Of note, FLW Pro Dave Lefebre's 2010 Team Chevy jersey was up for sale. For anyone that knows Dave, he has a huge following of fans (arguably, one of the largest in the sport) and keeps connected with them through Facebook and other social media outlets. A couple hours prior to the end of the jersey auction, he encouraged and challenged his Facebook fans to increase the bid amount. One of his posts joked, "Come on, don't make me buy this!" Shortly thereafter, he posted that he would take a fan on a fishing trip if the winning bid amount eclipsed $1000. When the auction came to a close, a glitch in EBay capped the top bid at $250.50, upon which the winner's name and bid amount was announced on Dave's Facebook page. Almost immediately, Dave received messages from some fans stating that they had bid far more than the winning amount. Among those concerned fans was the winning bidder, Lealand Hansford of Oxford, PA. Hansford contacted Dave and told him that he actually entered a maximum bid amount of $1,130 and was disappointed to see that the bid was not raised higher in the closing seconds so that he could have won a fishing trip, too. Dave told Hansford that he would still provide a trip if he would donate the difference between his winning and maximum bid amounts to St. Jude. Without hesitation, Hansford agreed.

This story is proof of what great PEOPLE (both anglers and fans) there are in this sport! Without their help, organizations like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital would not be as successful as they are today...
