The special jerseys will be auctioned postgame. The Bears donate a portion of the sale of all jersey auctions to a number of area nonprofit organizations as part of its community-focused Hershey Bears Cares initiative. Beneficiaries for the 2021-2022 season are Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Hospice of Central PA, Lebanon County Library System, and Dauphin County Library System. Due to COVID-19 protocols, a meet and greet with players will not be available following the auction, but the jerseys will be autographed, and payment must be made via credit card.
