Plug for the 2005 Fred Hutchinson Lunch
A brief charity plug for the Fred Hutchinson Luncheon January 19th. Good cause, you get to hang out at Safeco, so if you’ve got $150 left over from the holidays, check it out. Here’s the writeup Mr. Bregel sent us:
[Update: Trevor Hoffman won]
—
[The Fred Hutchinson Award] is one of the premier awards given out each year outside of those awarded by the MLB for an active player. I have included the list of winners of the award at the bottom of the mail so you can see just how amazing the list of recipients has been including 11 members of the Hall of Fame, 9 World Series MVPs, & 12 league MVPs. The luncheon itself is great. It is held out on the field in left field at Safeco Field. This year is the 40th anniversary of the award and many of the previous winners are expected to be in attendance. If you like to collect autographs here is a great opportunity to do so. The luncheon also includes a great auction.
Date: Wednesday, January 19, 2005
Time: 11:30-1:30 pm
Location: Safeco Field, Seattle, WA
Cost: Suggested minimum donation of $150 ($85 FMV)
Proceeds of the 2005 Hutch Award Luncheon will benefit Fred Hutchinson’s Gregory Fund for early cancer detection research. Fred Hutchinson is an independent, non-profit research institution dedicated to the understanding, treatment and prevention of cancer and other potentially fatal diseases.
