Are you looking for an out of the ordinary fundraising event to attend and help in the fight against cancer?
If so, the American Cancer Society will host the 4th annual Cattle Baron’s Ball on Saturday, March 27, 2010 at Antone’s Banquet Center, 8578 Market Street in Boardman. A VIP celebration starts at 6:00 p.m. and the ball begins at 7:00 p.m.
“Even though this has a county western flavor, there will be a number of different activities to keep everyone entertained throughout the night,” said Carole Weimer, co-chair of the event. “Our committee is working on coordinating activities to please everyone.”
The theme of this year’s ball is Denim and Diamonds.
“We decided on the theme because it allows everyone to attend in the attire of their choice,” said Wendy Miller, the other event co-chair. “We used to hold formal events, but decided to make the attire for this one a personal choice. Some will dress in jeans and western gear, while others will dress elegantly with their finest clothing and jewelry.”
Some of the activities scheduled include gourmet food stations, live music by John Reese and the Back Beat Band, auctions and casino gambling. The casino games are strictly for entertainment purposes. No cash winnings will be awarded.
Primus Medical has agreed to help the Society in its mission to defeat cancer by agreeing to be this year’s major sponsor.
“Because of the generous support from Primus Medical, as well as the support from our other sponsors, we are able to invest into areas that will help us continue to make progress against this disease,” Weimer said. “We are extremely grateful to Michael and LinQing Bruno for their generosity.”
“Sponsorship not only helps the Society to offset expenses, but also enables them to provide the many needed programs and services at no charge to cancer patients and families,” added Miller.
Other high-level sponsors supporting the event are Butler Wick, The Cafaro Company, Farmers National Bank, Farmers Trust Company and Humility of Mary Health Partners.
Also, Bruce and Rori Zoldan have donated 30 premium bottles of wine that will be auctioned off. These wines are made from the highest quality ingredients and aged to perfection.
Some of the other sponsors that made a monetary donation or in-kind donation of items include Alberini’s Restaurant, Dr. Dean Ball, Dr. Robert Brodell, First Place Bank, Jeff Chrystal’s Catering, Hitchcock X-Ray, Leo’s Ristorante, Lewis Corporation, Laura and Michael Mariano, Niles Iron and Metal Company, the Post and Solomon Families, Thom Duma Fine Jeweler’s/Mikki Moto Pearls, Trumbull Industries and Vernon’s Café.
Judge Elizabeth Kobly, Gregg Strollo and Rashad El-Dabh MD are the honorees. Each one was selected because of their unending commitment to help the Society in their mission to eliminate cancer.
Harriet Cohen is the chair of the Divas and Gentlemen’s Committee. Members helping to plan the event are Bridget Antonelli, Dr. Dean Ball, Susan Blecher, Pat Butto, Lori DiTunno, Mary Jo Fagert, Kathy Garritano, Marlene and Merv Hollander, Anna Mineo Howell, Lillie Johnson, Ken Miller, Claudia Moss, Toni Solarz, Dave Terpek, Kathie Weinberg, Sandy and Sam Zians and Rori Zoldan.
Tickets to the VIP reception and the event are $150 per person. To attend the event only the donation is $100.
All proceeds raised will be used by the Society to save lives by helping people stay well, get well, find cures and fight back.
For tickets or more information contact Pam Marshall Wilson at the American Cancer Society toll free at 1-888-227-6446, ext 2207 or by email at pamela.marshall@cancer.org.
