The CCF accountants have been beating up their calculators and have come up with the final take for the May 2nd Cancer Fund Luncheon and Fashion Show. Thanks to Luncheon Chairs Lori Buschel and Keyea Webster and Honorary Chairs Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman, they brought in a whopping $288,000! That’s $24,000 more than 2011!
And while that’s indeed great news, it also raises the bar for the 2013 Luncheon Co-chairs Jennifer DeLaughter and Elizabeth Farr. Not only are they going to have to try to top that, they’re also responsible for blowing the roof off the 25th anniversary of the annual fundraiser for the Children’s Cancer Fund.
Not to worry. Jennifer and Elizabeth have already locked down the date. Mark Friday, May 3, at the Hilton Anatole on your calendars. Roger and Troy have.
Love the luncheon.. since everyone knows the date so early .. i hope they will stay for the entire luncheon.. to see all those adorable cancer paitients on the runway with 5 talbles totally abandoned… (granted it was getting late) but they were so cute and the best part… i go to one of those and pretend i am out of town and stay the whole day.. what an inspiration they are and thanks to Marisa Huckin for getting me involved a few years ago and love working with Camille … a class act… mark it down and stay and cheer for all.
Children’s Cancer Fund is truly an incredible organization. I have been involved for quite some time and each year the bar is raised. Passionate caring people working toward ending childhood cancer. The research work they do and continue to do and share on a daily basis gives hope to so many!
Thanks for sharing all this GOOD news. Remarkable that so much was raised in such a difficult economy – speaks to so many people’s hard work and passion to make life better for children.
