Sierra Madrean Helps to Raise Money for Hathaway-Sycamores Kids Saturday, January 10th, 2009
Jim Liston of Sierra Madre was am The Battle of the Bowl event was created in 2004 by Todd Doney, Vice Chairman of CB Richard Ellis. Doney, a San Marino resident, attended a charity auction and successfully bid on a most unusual item: use of Pasadena’s famed Rose Bowl stadium for one day. Creative thinking led to this unique event, which brings together area residents, many professional colleagues in commercial real estate, and friends to benefit Hathaway-Sycamores, where he is on the Advisory Board of Directors. The flag football competition pit the “Benefactors” (in red) against the “Patrons,” (in blue) with the two teams battling it out to raise over $25,000 for this year’s event. While the participants range from 25 to 55 years old, several of this year’s players were no strangers to the Rose Bowl field. Headlining this year’s game were former UCLA QBs Cory Paus and Brendan McCracken, CAL and NFL Kansas City Chiefs QB Pat Barnes, and former Duke linebacker Chris Rising. The teams competed for two 45-minute halves, complete with full use of the Rose Bowl football field and scoreboard, home and visitor team locker rooms, and live audio/video feed, with action highlights and instant replays shown real-time on the video scoreboard. At halftime, about 25 kids, who were watching the game, were invited on the field to participate in a spirited game of “Capture the Flag.” In the second half with less than 10 minutes to go, the score was tied at 26-26. With only minutes left on the clock, Benefactor QB Cory Paus connected with Mark Sprague on a 15-yard touchdown pass to win the game 34-26. The price to play on one of the two 25-member teams was $750, with all of the proceeds going to support the 9,000 children and families served by Hathaway-Sycamores.
At the games end, Doney thanked his
