OAKLAND (BCN) Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf has offered a pair of NBA Western Conference Finals Tickets to be auctioned off, in an attempt to raise funds to help the survivors of the West Oakland San Pablo Avenue fire.

Schaff donated the tickets to Game 2, where the San Antonio Spurs will take on the Golden State Warriors in Oakland, to the West Oakland San Pablo Avenue Fire Recovery and Relief Fund, according to organization
officials.

Organization officials said each donation of $100 or more made to the fund gives the donator a chance at winning the highly coveted tickets, which can cost up to $5,000 a piece.

The drawing will be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday and the tickets will be made available for pick-up by 11 a.m.
