One of a Kind Auction for One of a Kind Football
This stainless steel football with over 50 autographs is the result
of more than 4 years of determined effort on the part of its owner,
Jerry A. Hermanson. The list of signatures, from Jerry Rice to
Seahawks owner, Paul Allen, is extraordinary and will make it
a prized possession for the lucky winner of this auction. The
football's dimensions are: 14" tall, it measures 8" x 7" and it
weighs 4 pounds.
And There's More
The auction winner will also receive:
- 2x50-yard line charter section tickets to the Jets
vs. Seahawks game on December 21, plus 2 pregame sideline passes
- "Touch" Seahawks apparel designed, signed
& donated by actress Alyssa Milano
- Gift certificate to F.X. McRory’s
- 12th Man Flag
All Proceeds Will Go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Alaska, Montana, Northern Idaho & Washington
Jerry received the football at the age of 18 from his grandfather,
who designed and had it made in his sheet metal shop in Kent, WA.
The football soon became the focus of not only Jerry’s dream
to capture the history of his hometown team, the Seattle Seahawks,
but also to help children in need achieve their own dreams through
the Make a Wish Foundation® of Alaska, Montana, Northern Idaho & Washington, which enriches the lives of children
with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting
work.
All proceeds of this auction will go to the Make-A-Wish® Foundation
of Alaska, Montana, Northern Idaho & Washington and makes this special
item a true "Dream Football." |

This original work was followed by an extremely limited number
of other stainless steel footballs, but this is the only one that
benefits from over 4 years of Jerry's relentless pursuit and persuasion
of a collection of luminaries from not only the Seahawks entire
history, but select additional personalities such as President
Bill Clinton, Howie Long, Terry Bradshaw, and Joe Gibbs.
Special Thanks
This auction marks the end of a four year journey for the “Dream
Football” that began with a kid's love of football and a
desire to help kids in need.
“So many people have supported this project, including all
of the people who have been kind enough to sign the ball,"
said Hermanson. "I just want to thank everyone for their
help, and hope that we can help a lot of kids through the auction."
"Good luck to everyone who bids!"
