The
Payton Family would like to invite you to join us for the
2nd
Annual Spirit of Sweetness Award Celebration
Last year our family was honored to award Mike Ditka as the recipient
of the first annual “Spirit of Sweetness” award.
Coach Ditka was instrumental to Walter’s ability to fulfill his
destiny, which is why my children and I chose him for this special honor.
This year we have chosen Emmitt Smith to receive this award as he is
poised to surpass Walter’s rushing record. Emmitt was not only chosen for his football accomplishments,
but most importantly for his passion to give back in raising funds for
America’s youth. His goal
is to raise $22 million in 22 months for education.
On July 23, 2002 the Walter Payton Cancer Fund will hold the 2nd
Annual “Spirit of Sweetness” Award Celebration at Walter Payton's
Roundhouse Complex (205 N. Broadway, Aurora, IL 60505), and we would love for you to join us! The evening will be a celebration of Sweetness to benefit the
Walter Payton Cancer Fund, in cocktail attire.
This is a 501 c (3) non-profit organization where 99 cents of every
dollar donated goes directly to cancer research.
In
our dedication to raising 3.4 million dollars in the year 2002 for cancer
research, my children and I hope that you will consider joining us at this
2nd Annual “Spirit of Sweetness” Award Celebration.
