NEWS RELEASE
August 20, 2010
You are invited to a party with a purpose: the Third Annual American Cancer Society’s Baron’s Ball, 7 p.m., August 21. Dust off your boots, put on your jeans and your cowboy hat and mosey on down the trail to Fox Creek Farms, 11958 Ellerbe Rd., Shreveport, for a casual, western-themed evening full of fun and festivities to help raise money for the American Cancer Society.
Partygoers will enjoy great food, drinks, games and prizes, live and silent auctions, fabulous entertainment and goody bags. The Texas Trailhands will provide the evening’s musical entertainment.
This year’s Honorary Chairman is Jennifer Bland. Mrs. Bland’s husband, Jason, was the head athletic trainer at Airline High School and he taught a sports medicine class at the Bossier Parish Technical School. Jason Bland passed away June 7 from cancer.
Proceeds from the Baron’s Ball go to the American Cancer Society to help fund cancer research and free programs and services for local cancer patients like Jason Bland. The local office has been providing these services thanks to the generosity of private donations made by businesses and individuals. Now that’s a reason for a party!
Tickets are $100-$1250. For more information, contact the American Cancer Society office at 318-219-1668 or the event chairman, Julie Colvin at julie1267@comcast.net or visit http://main.acsevents.org.
