On Sunday, Sept. 27, Dave "Spiggy" Spigler, along with eight of his "litter mates" from the world renown "Washington Hogettes," the Redskins' Biggest Fans, hosted the sixteenth Annual "Spiggy Hogette & Friends Children's Charity Benefit" at the American Legion Post in Lusby.

Bringing together more than 300 folks from all over the Washington metropolitan area, this "fun" raiser event is held each fall during a Redskins' away game to support organizations involved in
the care and treatment of sick children.

What started as a basement party for 30 of Spiggy's co-workers at the nearby Patuxent River Naval Air Warfare Center, has now blossomed into a three-day weekend consisting of the largest golf tournament held in Southern Maryland, a Saturday Tri-County Biker Run for Children's Hospital, and a Sunday Redskins' Game Party with participants sporting the jerseys for most
every NFL football team.

This years' events attracted several former sports personalities including Redskins' Pat Fischer, Ron (the Dancin' Bear) McDole, Rich Milot, as well as the former Voice of the Redskins for 25 years, Frank Herzog!  Four of this year's squad of Washington Redskin Cheerleaders joined in to help lead the cheers for our beloved football team. Despite the final score, the good news is that nearly $50,000 in contributions and services were realized by these zany Hogettes and the efforts of hundreds of folks to make this weekend a huge success once more – a very good day for the kids.
