'An Evening with Colt Brennan' fundraiser tonight

Advertiser Staff

Former University of Hawai'i receiver Davone Bess and current UH coach Greg McMackin will join former Warrior quarterback Colt Brennan at today's benefit dinner named "An Evening With Colt Brennan."

Brennan will give opening remarks during a Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Hawai'i's benefit fundraiser, which will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Willows.

Brennan, who helped lead the Warriors to a magical 2007-08 season, was a backup quarterback for the Washington Redskins this past season.

A VIP table with Bess, a starter for the Miami Dolphins, has been added for $3,500 for a table of 10.

A variety of Brennan and Bess items will be available for sale. McMackin also will attend the event, which will feature a silent auction, live auction and entertainment.

Each item will be numbered and authenticated with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. There will also be a limited edition "An Evening with Colt Brennan" T-shirt available for $15.

The VIP table is $2,250 for table of 10 and individual tickets are $200 for "Super Fan" seating and $100 for "Supporter" seating.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

Tickets can be purchased by calling The Willows at 952-9200 (9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday) or 497-2900. Ask for Kyle Nakayama or Chantel Oh.
