LLS-raffle

A Philadelphia body shop owner, along with Philadelphia area Mercedes-Benz dealers, are giving big in the fight to cure blood-related cancers.

George Hofmann, owner of Autocare USA in Philadelphia, is a member of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Board of Trustees and is also a co-chairman of this year’s 2016 Annual Red & White Ball, held on March 12th. This will mark the third year in a row that the LLS will raffle off a brand-new Mercedes-Benz at their black-tie event.

This year’s raffle vehicle is an all-new 2016 GLC300 4MATIC SUV. Tickets are on sale now. The winner of the Mercedes-Benz raffle will be announced at the Red & White Ball. The ticket holder does not need to be present to win. Philadelphia area Mercedes-Benz dealers have donated the vehicle, which means that the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) will receive 100 percent of the proceeds from ticket sales. Visit www.redwhiteballphilly.org/raffle for more information about the Mercedes-Benz raffle.

The Philadelphia area Mercedes-Benz dealerships that served as Official Vehicle Sponsors for the 2016 Red & White Ball include:

  • Euro Motorcars Devon
  • Keenan Motors
  • Knopf Automotive
  • Mercedes-Benz of Atlantic City
  • Mercedes-Benz of Cherry Hill
  • Mercedes-Benz of Fort Washington
  • Mercedes-Benz of West Chester
  • Mercedes-Benz of Wilmington
  • Tom Masano, Inc.

BASF, along with Hofmann’s jobber Central Paint, have also been sponsors/donors each year for the past three years.
