USA Collision Centers “Ed Taylor” runs for Man of the Year
USA Collision Centers is proud to
announce that Calvin “Ed” Taylor, store general manager with USA Collision
Centers has accepted the nomination to compete in the 2008 Cincinnati / Northern
Kentucky Leukemia and Lymphoma Society “Man and Woman of the Year” campaign.
This ten week fundraising campaign kicked
off March 6th 2008 with a party at the BMW Store on Stewart Rd. The
campaign will run now through May 16th with a grand finale party for
the candidates at the Hyatt downtown on May 16th.
Over the course of the ten week campaign,
candidates are working hard to raise as much money as possible. At the
conclusion of the campaign the male and female who have raised the most money
are crowned “Man & Woman of the Year”.
When asked why he has accepted this
challenge Ed stated “The main reason for my joining the fight against
these cancers is the diagnosis of my best friend’s wife Annmarie. She was
diagnosed in December of 2003 with Leukemia (AML). She has undergone numerous
rounds of chemo and has had two transplants. Seeing her fight this battle has
made me want to fight to find a cure. I was diagnosed with diabetes when I was
seven and have directly benefited from fundraisers like this one, and now it is
my turn to pay it forward.”
Ed has scheduled a fundraiser dinner and
entertainment for May 2nd at Receptions west banquet center (across
from western bowl) with all proceeds going towards his campaign to help find a
cure. To RSVP for this benefit see his web page http://www.nighttoremember.myevent.com
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the “Man and
Woman of the Year” campaign have had a very special place in the hearts of
everyone at USA Collision Centers.
In 2006 Joe Sanfillipo III, Chief Operating Officer
for USA Collision Centers also ran for
“Man of the Year”. Joe’s wife Annmarie has been battling Leukemia (AML) since
2003.
She has had two transplants at the Cleveland Clinic.
Under the care of Dr .Slobodan Stanisic from Cincinnati Hematology and Oncology,
Annmarie has been cancer free since 2005.
USA Collision Centers is also proud to be the
presenting sponsor for this year’s campaign.
