MANHEIM, Pa., – In recognition of the care provided to the Lancaster County area and southeastern Pennsylvania, Manheim Pennsylvania hosted a charity auction and Texas’Em Poker Tournament on Feb. 20 that raised $31,750 to benefit the Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center and Johns Hopkins Heart and Vascular Institute.
“Manheim Pennsylvania is proud to support Johns Hopkins Hospital and these wonderful programs that continue to save so many lives,” said Julie Picard, vice president and general manager of Manheim Pennsylvania. “We are very pleased with tonight’s turnout of employees, customers and NextGEN participants that will help Johns Hopkins and its programs make a difference in the lives of so many. We are honored to provide support as the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center and Heart and Vascular Institute fight the two biggest killers on the planet.”
“This investment helps accelerate discoveries made by cancer and heart disease experts at Johns Hopkins,” said Michael Hibler, senior associate director of development for Johns Hopkins Medicine. “Our goal is to translate these discoveries into clinical achievements that help patients.”
More than 100 participated in the charity auction and Texas Hold’em poker tournament that included the sale of two late-model vehicles and two Manheim Pennsylvania lithographic prints.
Prior to the event, leukemia survivor Randy Derr, Manheim Pennsylvania assistant general manager, shared his story of cancer treatments at Johns Hopkins 13 years ago. Susan Adcock, whose husband is an auctioneer at Manheim Pennsylvania, talked about receiving a heart transplant at Johns Hopkins in June 2013 and introduced the family of the young man’s heart she received.
Manheim Pennsylvania’s top buyers and sellers, and participants of the 2013 NextGEN series and their guests were invited to participate in the auction and tournament. The charity auction and poker tournament provided NextGEN participants, Manheim Pennsylvania employees and Manheim customers an opportunity to support both the Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center and Johns Hopkins Heart and Vascular Institute.
This fundraiser served as the final session of the four-part NextGEN series that began in 2013. NextGEN is an educational series developed by Manheim Pennsylvania to strengthen existing remarketing knowledge, and prepare the next generation of auto remarketing leaders. Participants include family members of dealer principals, owners and managers. Manheim Pennsylvania hosted three NextGEN series events last year.

About Johns Hopkins Medicine (http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/usa/)
From the 1889 opening of The Johns Hopkins Hospital, to the opening of the School of Medicine four years later, there emerged the concept of combining research, teaching and patient care. This model, the first of its kind, would lead to a national and international reputation for excellence and discovery.
Today, Johns Hopkins uses one overarching name—Johns Hopkins Medicine—to identify its entire medical enterprise. This $5 billion system unites the physicians and scientists of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine with the health professionals and facilities that make up the broad, integrated Johns Hopkins Health System.
