RUB-A-DUB Wednesday, August 21, 2013 • Franklin Hills Country Club • 5:30 p.m.

Rub-a-Dub is ORT Michigan’s largest fundraiser of the year, attracting over 550 attendees in 2012 and generating

nearly $400,000 for ORT. This amazing fundraiser evolved out of a home-grown gathering started in 1983 at the home

of Doreen and the late David B. Hermelin which now takes place at Franklin Hills Country Club and is considered the premier

event of the summer. The event consists of a raffle with a $5,000 Somerset Collection shopping spree as the grand prize, in

addition to a silent auction with items donated by local, high-end retailers which our guests frequently patronize.

A live auction offers trips, jewelry, automobile leases, and one-of-a-kind experiences that money cannot buy. All of this is

complemented by great food and enthusiastic participants from all over metro Detroit, representing high-net-worth

individuals, the sophisticated consumer, and those who have an appreciation for life’s finest. The event also raises funds

through a 150+ page Ad Journal that is distributed to all guests at the event, as well as through corporate sponsorships.

LaFontaine Automotive Group served as the Presenting Sponsor in 2012, as well as in 2011. Other 2012 corporate sponsors

included Quicken Loans, PNC Bank, Jaffe Raitt Heuer and Weiss, Telemus Capital Partners, Rehmann, Honigman, UBS/

Peninsula Wealth Management Group, Bdirect Management, Pegasus Entertainment, Somerset Collection, Elder Automotive,

Tapper’s Diamonds & Fine Jewelry, Pay Anywhere, and Northwestern Mutual.
