Doc Rivers gives $55G shirt off his back for charity


By Renee Nadeau

A Gatorade toast was in order at WEEI yesterday after Doc Rivers’ soaked shirt raised $55,000 for charity at auction.

The shirt worn by the Celts coach as Championship MVP Paul Pierce [stats] doused him in a celebratory Gatorade shower had been on the auction block since Thursday. Rivers signed the shirt for the sports radio station, which put the garment and accompanying Gatorade bucket up for bids.

“We were obviously very hopeful,” said Jason Wolfe, WEEI’s vice president of AM programming, who was amazed by the high bid and praised “the generosity of Celtics fans.”
