This is 2012 Team Ogilvie.
As a result of this noble challenge and with the assistance of its Sales Manager (Leslie Thomas Mise) Ogilvie
Mercedes-Benz decided to chip in with a sponsorship package and a team which is taking part at the run.Team Ogilvie has been greatly indebted to the Mierins Family who are not only sponsoring but have been committed to the cause. Arnie Jr and his wife have been able to set aside time from their busy schedule to participate at the run.
Leslie Mise has been pivotal in his efforts to raise money for this foundation. This year he had a strong impetus to work even harder as he was asked to Co-Chair the Ultimate Run for Dad. This is what he had to say about this year's fund raising efforts, 'Father's Day is just days away and I am counting on your generosity once again. This year I have been asked to Co-Chair the Ultimate Run for Dad so the pressure is on. I am hoping you can help me towards our $500,000.00 target.My personal goal is to raise $7000.00 in support of men's cancer but I can’t do it without your help. Therefore, it is then no surprise that when I last heard from him, Team Ogilvie had already raised $10 000.00
