Among the items up for bid are a martial arts/self defense lesson with head coach and 10th degree black belt Schellas Hyndman, luxury suites at Dallas Stars and Dallas Mavericks games and a golf foursome with keepers Kevin Hartman and Chris Seitz.

Fan favorites Brek Shea and Eric Avila will accompany the child of one lucky bidder to his/her school’s show and tell, and take a VIP cart tour of the Dallas Zoo with another. For a little more culture, attendees can try bidding on Greek dinner and dancing with George John.

All proceeds from Cocktails and Cleats will benefit the FC Dallas Foundation, the charitable arm of FC Dallas and Pizza Hut Park. The Foundation strives to positively impact the health and well-being of disadvantaged youth through the sport of soccer. The foundation is focused on providing scholarships to future student athletes, promoting healthy child initiatives and providing program funding for disadvantaged youth.
