The launch of the Big Red Mercedes-Benz of Ft. Mitchell sweepstakes, with all proceeds benefiting Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, begins Thursday, July 9. Mercedes-Benz of Fort Mitchell is holding the fundraiser in cooperation with Cumulus Radio and the CEI Sports Cincy Sports Fest. The sweepstakes will include a two-year lease of a new red 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA250, a uniquely framed Mercedes-Benz CLA250 car hood signed by eight legends of Cincinnati baseball – Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, Tony Perez, Dave Concepcion, George Foster, Ken Griffey Sr. and Cesar Geronimo. In addition, the winner will also receive a baseball signed by the members of the World Series champion teams of the Big Red Machine era. Three runner-up legend-signed baseballs and other memorabilia will also be awarded at the end of the sweepstakes.
Cincy Sports Fest opens Saturday, July 11, at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center. On Sunday, July 12, the baseball greats will be signing the car hood in the lobby of the Northern Kentucky Convention Center, 1 RiverCenter Drive, Covington, between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.
