Cattle Barons’ Ball Tally at $120,000 for American Cancer Society

            The 2008 Cattle Barons’ Ball earned nearly $120,000 in November 2008 for the local office of the American Cancer Society, bringing the Ball’s five-year total to over $900,000.

            More than 400 guests attended the sixth annual Western-style event at Canongate Whitewater Creek Country Club in Fayetteville, Southside band Crystal & The Cruizers rocked the house, and up-and-coming country music singer Erica Nicole made a special appearance.

            The ball, themed “Shooting for the Cure,” included a host of games and featured both live and silent auctions.

            Prior to the ball, the Cattle Barons’ Ball committee hosted its first ever ladies' tennis tournament and golf tournament, which together made up more than $17,000 of the total ball tally. Tennis winners were: 4.0, Heather Goodrich and Erin Skinner; 3.5, Susan Wood and Tammy Padberg; and 3.0, Miranda Rockett and Lisa Caldwell. Golf tournament winners were: Dennis Choat, Mike Mitchell and Franklin Langham.

            The biggest winner, however, was the American Cancer Society, which will be able to use the proceeds to benefit the programs and services that it offers free to the local community and to fund research, legislative efforts and education.tion.

            The 2009 Cattle Barons’ Ball committee is hard at work on the 7th annual ball. For information on how to get involved or for more information on the American Cancer Society, contact the ACS’s Peachtree City office at 770-631-0625.0625.
