Attend the Bobby Mitchell Hall of Fame Classic, July 9 &10

The Bobby Mitchell/Toyota Hall of Fame Classic sponsored by Washington Area Auto Dealers, at the Lansdowne Resort, July 9 & 10, is the big summer event for area dealers. And we do mean big over 40 sports legends (including newcomers Harlem Globetrotter Marques Haynes, Chicago Bears legend Gale Sayers and Redskins favorite John Riggins), more than 500 in attendance, and if last year is repeated over $500,000 raised for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

With WANADA as its primary sponsor for the past four years, and strong support from Washingtonês franchised dealer community, the Classic has raised over $1.8 million to fight these dreaded blood diseases, bringing the total raised by the Classic to more than $3.5 million since the annual event was conceived in 1990. For 2005, former Redskin Bobby Mitchell and Co-Chair Tammy Darvish are aiming to break the $4 million mark.

There are still opportunities for dealers and kindred-line members to participate in this worthwhile and highly entertaining event. A range of sponsorship opportunities are still available, as well as the need for a wide variety of auction items. For more information on participation in and sponsorship opportunities for this yearês Hall of Fame Classic, see the details in the information sheet and donation form enclosed with this Bulletin, or contact Barbara Martin at WANADA, (202) 237-7200 or bjm@wanada.org. And please make your commitment today!
