SAN MATEO, Calif. (CNS) -- Tom Brady, quarterback of the New England Patriots and two-time Super Bowl most valuable player, has donated his 2004 Super Bowl MVP Cadillac to his alma mater, Junipero Serra High School in San Mateo, for the school's annual benefit auction Nov. 13. Brady, who graduated from the school in 1995, is also offering an autographed jersey to any student who sells $2,500 worth of raffle tickets, a signed helmet for selling $1,500 worth and a signed football for selling $500 worth. Raffle tickets were selling for $25 each and by late October Serra students had sold $72,000 worth of tickets. Mike Peterson, Serra's principal when Brady was a student and currently the school's director of institutional development, said the gift has been the talk of the country and has been mentioned in Sports Illustrated and major daily newspapers.
