Sam's Club at Chapel Hill


The staff of Sam's Club at Chapel Hill wanted to make sure Todd was comfortable while making a personal appearance during their bake sale, but as you can see, he was a little to comfortable and couldn't resist a short snooze following his 2 hour swim practice and 1/2 hour strength training session. As usual, Todd met another pretty girl.

The kitchen staff kept the food coming and the staff, including Whitey's owner, Jon were still smiling at the end.






And an awesome time was had by all. Thanks to Jon & Whitey's for a night Todd will never forget.



Are you surprised that TODD gets the girl?


Here Mike Hargrove discusses the latest appraised value of Jim Mantel's autographed rookie card from Fantasy Camp before Sharon submits the winning bid.


One of our sponsors, Alhambra, brought a group of about 15! While we can't mention everyone individually, your presence was very much appreciated. Several Whitey's vendors donated items and Jon kept taking things off the walls! The Frank Robinson autographed baseball donated by Jim Mantel raised the most money for a single item.


Special friends, Jim & Melinda Mantel, and the Hargrove family came out in force with a party of 12. Jim was our celebrity auctioneer and while Mike signed autographs, Sharon Hargrove and Melinda kept the bidding spirited.

"Todd goes to China" Night at Whitey's


From the moment you entered Whitey's Booze N' Burgers on July 27th, you knew it was a special night. The place was packed and everywhere you looked, you saw Todd's face-on t-shirts, on wall posters, and best of all, in person, grinning from ear to ear. It was his night and he knew it! New friends and old friends had come to celebrate and support his trip to China.
