Penguins Team Up with Triathlete Timothy O’Donnell to Assist Disabled Veterans 

Military jersey auction to benefit Team Red, White and Blue

 

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins are joining forces with World Champion Triathlete and Shavertown, PA-native Timothy O’Donnell to raise funds for Team Red, White & Blue. 

 

The Penguins will be auctioning a 2011-12 commemorative team-signed Military Jersey on eBay beginning Tuesday, April 10 and running for one week.

 

All proceeds from the auction will go to benefit Team Red, White & Blue  – an organization whose mission is to transform the way wounded veterans are reintegrated into society when they return from combat and exit their position.

 

O’Donnell is not only a former resident of the Wyoming Valley, but was also an officer in the United States Navy.  A world-renowned triathlete, O’Donnell most recently claimed first place at Ironman 70.3 Texas, defeating Lance Armstrong among other competitors to win the U.S. Pro Championship.
