Always wondered about Mike Grier's favorite movie, what Joe Pavelski's favorite restaurant is or what kind of music Patrick Marleau listens to?

During the first few home games of the 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Sharks Wives and Girlfriends will host the Sharks "Favorite Things" Basket Fundraiser.  Baskets will feature items that include movies, game consoles, music, food, gift certificates, autographed items and more!

Approximately five (5) baskets a night will be auctioned off at the Sharks Foundation booth, located just outside of Section 124 on the Concourse Level.  All baskets will be sold via blind bid format. In the blind bid format, fans indicate the highest price they are willing to pay for a particular player's basket on a form and drop the form into a box that corresponds to that player. As with a normal auction, each basket will be sold to its respective highest bidder.

Players that will be featured during the first round include:

Thursday, April 16 vs. Anaheim
#4 Rob Blake, #8 Joe Pavelski, #11 Marcel Goc, #14 Jonathan Cheechoo, #20 Evgeni Nabokov & #37 Brad Lukowich

Sunday, April 19 vs. Anaheim
#9 Milan Michalek, #12 Patrick Marleau, #19 Joe Thornton, #24 Travis Moen, #40 Kent Huskins & #44 Marc-Edouard Vlasic

Saturday, April 25 vs. Anaheim (if necessary)
#10 Christian Ehrhoff, #22 Dan Boyle, #25 Mike Grier, #27 Jeremy Roenick, #33 Brian Boucher & #39 Tomas Plihal

Proceeds from the event will benefit Valley Medical Center (VMC) and their efforts to refurbish an outdoor playground for hospitalized children and their families to enjoy.  For more information on VMC please visit www.vmcfoundation.org.
