AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY SADDLES UP TO FIGHT CANCER
The 1st Annual Cattle Barons’ Ball of Northeast Arkansas is set for Friday, November 9th, 2018
Jonesboro, AR – Put on your cowboy boots and hat, saddle up and get ready to lasso up a good time, for a good cause! The American Cancer Society of Northeast Arkansas announces the arrival of its premier event, the first annual Cattle Barons’ Ball on Friday, November 9th, at 7pm at The Silos in Bono, AR, featuring food, dancing, entertainment, auctions and much more!
“When I was approached about chairing, I was humbled. This inaugural event will fund a desperately needed transportation grant for patients in Northeast Arkansas,” said Leslie Conner, the 2018 Cattle Baron’s Ball Event Chair. “It has always been a joy to help others, but to put our boots and stomp out cancer with each committee member and community partner in a way that is tangible and so incredibly meaningful is nothing short of a blessing.”
The Cattle Barons’ Ball 2018 at The Silos is the place to be this November! A few of our outstanding sponsors include St. Bernard’s, Progeny Ag, MOR Media Inc., Gearhead Outfitters and many more. Sponsorships, tables and tickets should be reserved early; space is at a premium.
Your ticket will include a western inspired dinner from JTown’s Grill courtesy of Jeffrey Higgins and live music from the Arkansas Brothers. An auction will be held with many terrific prizes including getaways, sporting events and high-end gifts. Attendees will get to hear our 2019 Honorary Chair, Kimberly Scutero, as she shares her brave story about her fight against cancer. We will present our first annual Legacy Award to Fred and Susan Cathcart for their incredible work in raising more than $5 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Lastly, a special Fund the Mission moment will allow attendees to play a pivotal role in funding our local transportation grant.
The 2018 Cattle Baron’s Ball of Northeast hopes to raise significant funds to support the American Cancer Society investing in the fight against cancer. The money raised is central to supporting the ACS mission, which aims to focus its efforts in four main areas: research, education, advocacy, and service.
