The 2026 Cherry & Silver Scholarship Gala has been sold out for weeks, but now anyone can get in on the action by bidding on items in the silent auction, which is now live.
Fans can click right here to bid on some amazing, one-of-a-kind items. From Jason Eck signed football helmets (one white, one cherry), to signed jerseys from Lobo legends Michael Cooper and Robin Cole, to an autographed baseball from Albuquerque's Alex Bregman, there is something in the silent auction for everyone.
Along with the signed memorabilia, fans can also bid on amazing experiences, including a VIP Lobo Football experience for a home game of your choice, with premium parking, pregame sideline passes, and a private tour of UNM's football facilities for a true insider's look at Lobo Football.
Other experiences include a Men's Basketball Game Day Experience that offers access to a closed shootaround, team film sessions, and the chance to join the squad for the pregame meal. A Women's Basketball experience is also on the books, which includes a chance to be a coach for the day. You will join the staff for shootaround, the pre-game and post-game talks, and then be part of the team on the sidelines by the bench.
Fans can also bid on Lobo Football season tickets, a Balloon Fiesta Extravaganza that includes exclusive gear and memorabilia, a chance for you and 19 of your friends to catch a Lobo Basketball game with VP/AD Ryan Berryman in his suite at The Pit - Powered by Nusenda.
Possibly the highlight of the silent auction is a truly rare piece of memorabilia that will be the talk of any gathering. You can bid to own a unique piece of University of New Mexico basketball history with two original wooden stadium seats from the iconic Pit! Perfect for a mancave, office, or sports memorabilia collection, these authentic seats are a true collector’s item and include original court flooring from The Pit. A one-of-a-kind opportunity to preserve a piece of Lobo Basketball tradition and bring home a piece of one of college basketball’s most legendary venues.
