Last call for The Bobby Mitchell Hall of Fame Golf Classic

Last call for The Bobby Mitchell Hall of Fame Golf Classic

There are still positions available in the Bobby Mitchell Hall of Fame Golf Classic and sponsorship opportunities for WANADA members, as organizers look ahead to the grand finale of the event that has spanned 21 years for the benefit of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. After more than two decades, founder and chief organizer, Bobby Mitchell, is stepping out of the event that bears his name after this year. During this time, the BMC has raised millions of dollars for blood cancer research while annually turning out scores of NFL and NBA legends from the Hall of Fame.
