CHICAGO (FOX 32 NEWS) - At the end of the regular season Cubs skipper Joe Maddon will be doing a little more than helping the Cubbies clinch a World Series berth.
Maddon will also be raffling his signature edition 4x4 Jeep, which he has been driving around the city all summer. A maximum of 3,000 tickets will be sold at $100 each and the winner will be selected when the regular season is over.
Built by Fields Auto Group, the Jeep includes Rawlings seats and a bat gear shifter handle.
"When Fields Auto Group found out about Joe's foundation and what it stands for, we wanted to assist in any way we could," said Dan Fields, President of Fields Auto Group. "We came up with a plan to customize a vehicle of Joe's choice, the Jeep Rubicon, through JAM Werks, a Fields Auto Group affiliate in Glenview headed up by Jim Moyer."
Net proceeds will go to Cubs Charities, Misericordia and other selected charities.
