Included with Tickets is an Original Wood Carving Created by Zack

Lions’ linebacker Zack Follett is not just talented when it comes to making plays on the football field, he also has other talents off the field. He is using that talent to help raise money for victims of the earthquake in Haiti.

Follett is auctioning off two tickets to Super Bowl XLIV and included with that is an original handmade wood carving made by Follett himself (see photo). The money brought in by these items will be donated to The American Red Cross International Relief Fund to assist efforts in the wake of the tragic earthquake in Haiti.

The auction is posted on the Lions’ NFL Auction website and is run through the NFL office. Follett has purchased two Super Bowl tickets and is donating them along with the carving to try to help the people of Haiti. The one-of-a-kind carving is about 2ft x 3ft made out of plywood, grass turf, authentic NFL football, and Follett's game-used gloves. This is a rare opportunity to be able to take home part of the game and help out a good cause all at the same time.
