Tickets and a list of auction items is available at bidpal.net/lnc14. Southeastern head baseball coach Matt Riser will present the inaugural Heart of a Lion Courage Award at the event. The Heart of a Lion Courage Award is designed to recognize an individual of great courage who positively impacts the lives of others. The inaugural recipient of the honor will be Hammond native Brad McKee. McKee, who served in the Marine Corps, is the co-founder and president of the “Disposable Heroes Project”, which is dedicated to recognizing, honoring, and supporting our wounded, fallen, and active duty heroes in the military. In June, McKee inspired thousands with a 200-mile run through Louisiana that raised money for families of disabled and wounded veterans. LNC 14 attendees will have access to BidPal bidding, which gives fans a new opportunity to experience auctions at their fingertips. At LionUp, fans will have the ability to pre-register payment information online to ensure quick and easy checkouts the night of the auction. All items will be viewable at LionUp as they become confirmed for the event and will be available to be pre-bid on leading up to the Aug. 23 celebration.
