“Party with a Purpose” Cattle Baron’s Ball, Bell Tower Shops

Crowne Plaza hotel is also planning a “Party with a Purpose” on
October 8th from 5:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. in support of the Cattle
Baron’s Ball. The party’s theme will be “Under the Western Sky,”
carrying on the Cattle Barron’s style.  Crowne Plaza is partnering
with the ACS, inviting all corporate clients, community representatives and previous Cattle Baron’s Ball sponsors. Guests will be treated to food, drinks and entertainment as ACS representatives give a special presentation highlighting what their local initiatives and activities and where the money raised from the Ball is allocated.

R.O.C.K. programs are specifically for kids that have been diagnosed with cancer. These programs include: R.O.C.K camp for children ages 7 to 16 that have been diagnosed with cancer, R.O.C.K families’ weekend for patients, parents and sibling, as well as college scholarships. They also partially fund childhood cancer research, implement early detection programs and prevention and provide assistance for parents to access the best treatment for their child.

The American Cancer Society depends on the generosity of donors to
fund the fight against cancer. Each donation is vital, whether it is
given by a foundation, in a bequest, or dollar-by-dollar at a
fundraising event. The “Ball” is slated for January 23, 2010 at the
Bell Tower Shops and is the top fundraiser in Lee County and the top
ranked Cattle Barons’ Ball in Florida. Past events have raised more
than $760,000.
