(PRWEB) March 25, 2008 -- 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 6, 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 16.
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.
