MADISON, Wis. — Now that NCAA athletes are able to profit of their name, image and likeness (NIL), Wisconsin Badgers' freshman runningback Braelon Allen is using the NIL rules to raise money for a charity.
Allen, a Fond du Lac native, will host a charity softball game at Herr-Baker Field on the campus of Marian University.
Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. Tuesday, through the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders.
In a news release, organizers said Allen "will be joined on the field by current Wisconsin athletes and Wisconsin legends across multiple sports."
The game is scheduled for Sunday, July 17 at 1:05 p.m.
Proceeds from the game will go to the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame Foundation.
“I’m excited to be bringing my friends back to my hometown of Fond du Lac for my inaugural charity softball game and to give back to the community I was raised in,” Allen said in a news release.
Tickets are $40 for a standard box seat or $25 for a reserved bleacher seat.
A limited number of front row seats are available for $90 each and include a signed, Braelon Allen softball.
Tickets will be available online at dockspiders.com, in person at the Herr-Baker Field Box Office, or over the phone at (920) 907-9833.
