Earlier this month on Thursday, March 11th MetroWireKC hosted its first real estate happy hour benefiting the 2010 Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Man of the Year Campaign. MetroWire’s very own Charlie Nielsen is a candidate for this year’s Man of the Year Campaign. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society plays a fundamental role in helping to provide financial and emotional support to patients and families affected by leukemia and lymphoma. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has also proven itself as a front runner in supporting research and development of cures for blood cancers.

Even though the Big 12 basketball tournament was in town MetroWireKC had a good crowd. Above, George Birt, Matthew Leisman, Marshall Mallory, and Kari Winters gathered for a picture.

After a busy winter of snow removal Kevin Shumm with Exterior Decorators is looking forward to spring by enjoying a cocktail and M&M cookie.

Sarah Steele and Wayne Bennett of Continental Title and Diana Ennis with Stewart Title took a break from competing for business and showed great support for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Another first for MetroWireKC, Bryan Barnes our advertising sales manager has finally made an issue. Here he is wearing his closer tie, unfortunately Tom Cohen with Johnson Capital wasn’t buying advertising this evening, just stopping in to support LLS.

Patrick Redetzke and Shannon Ellingson egerly awaited for their names during the raffle. Raffle prizes included a 4 pack of Royals tickets and gift cards to Sullivan’s Steak House, J. Gilberts, and P.F. Chang’s.

Kari Winters celebrates in jubilation after her name was called. We applaud the enthusiasm and excitement she brought to the raffle. The Man & Woman of the Year Campaign provides a unique opportunity to raise money that goes directly to research and financial assistance in the greater Kansas City area. MetroWireKC and YREP will be hosting another real estate happy hour on Thursday April, 15th that will also benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society at the Levee Carriage house, we hope to see you there.
