The North Carolina Courage is organizing a silent auction to support the United Way's hurricane relief efforts in western North Carolina. The event will take place during the team's home match on Saturday, November 2.

Proceeds from the auction will be directed to the United Way’s emergency relief fund, which assists those affected by Hurricane Helene. The auction features signed memorabilia from sports figures such as Naomi Osaka and Steph Curry.

The public can participate in the online auction, with options for shipping or pick-up. Bidding begins at 6 p.m. ET on Saturday when gates open for the Courage match and concludes on Monday, November 4, at 9 a.m. ET.
