Haddock Investments: Collegiate Sports Enthusiast

Entrenched in a long time love of sports, especially those Baylor Bears (Sic ‘Em Bears) Haddock  Investments and its CEO and Founder Gerald Haddock are proud to have been a part of some of the most exclusive sports opportunities this past year.

WASHINGTON D.C. (5/8/13) ---- Haddock Investments CEO Gerald Haddock was pleased to be invited to the American Cancer Society- Mother of the Year 2013 Award luncheon event held at the Ritz-Carlton in Washington D.C. honoring Mrs. Tanya Synder.

            Being close friends with the Haddock’s for many years, Tanya and her husband Dan make a continuing impact on the powerful Washington Redskins football team. Tanya has been an vital part of furthering the team’s and NFL’s participation in Breast Cancer awareness, being a survivor herself only makes her commitment to this cause all the more touching.

            An auction was held during the luncheon solely benefiting the American Cancer Society where many autographed memorabilia went to several members in attendance including a game worn pair of pink cleats autographed and auctioned off by Redskins quarterback, Heisman Trophy winner and former Baylor Bear Robert Griffin III or RGIII. Seeing an opportunity to donate to a great cause and garner another prized piece for the ever growing Baylor mementos collection, Mr. Haddock would not be denied in earning these exclusive cleats.

            Haddock Investments was thrilled to be a part of this momentous occasion and could not be more thrilled for this year’s Mother of the Year award winner Tanya Synder.

Baltimore MD (12/13/2013) ---- Mr. Haddock is pleased to be a member of the Board of the Golden Arm Foundation. This year’s winner was senior quarterback AJ McCarron of the University of Alabama. This award is presented annually to an outstanding collegiate quarterback that displays the merits and raw talent of its namesake and founder of the award committee Mr. Johnny Unitas. His son Johnny Unitas Jr. now manages the foundation and ensures its long legacy in collegiate sports.

            AJ McCarron wrapped up his college career with the fourth-ranked Crimson Tide from Alabama and still holds the Alabama record for throwing 30 touchdown passes in his 2012 season. Being the most seasoned veteran McCarron lead the Crimson Tide to bowl wins and title games in his 4 year career, his talent for maintaining a solid offense lead to the decision for him to receive the ultimate prize out of 30 original candidates. He joins the likes of Andrew Luck now the starting quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, in previous winners of this prestigious award.

            The ceremony featured an extensive photo op and time to converse with the seemingly shocked McCarron and his family. The presentation heard from members of the board as well as McCarron himself, clearly humbled by the award and his company of recipients. Mr. Haddock enjoyed the reception and spent the afternoon with the McCarron family noting that “They are very genuinely good people and a pleasure to spend time with.” He received an autographed football and signed sponsorship poster from the event.
