SPORTS WRITERS ASSOCIATION 104TH ANNUAL DINNER ON JANUARY 28, 2008
The Philadelphia Sports Writers Association will hold its 104th annual Award Dinner on Monday evening, January 28, 2008, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Cherry Hill , NJ .
The Association will honor the best of 2007, both locally and nationally, at the nation’s oldest continuous sports award dinner. Among the honorees at the first affair in 1904 were Connie Mack and John L. Sullivan. Last year’s top honoree was the Phillies’ National League MVP Ryan Howard, our Outstanding Pro Athlete, along with West Virginia ’s Steve Slaton (Outstanding Amateur), Rutgers football (Team of the Year) and Native Son Mike Rozier. Also recognized last year were several members of the Philadelphia Stars of the Negro Baseball League, Dr. Dean Richardson, who nursed Barbaro following his serious injury, and the Philadelphia Eagles Youth Partnership (Humanitarian Award). This year’s head table promises to be even more star-studded.
Tickets for the Award Dinner cost $75.00, and can be purchased by contacting Robbie Kenney online at pswadinner@yahoo.com.
