Dear Potential Sponsor,
Grab your cowboy hat, put on your boots & jeans, and prepare to raise some bucks at the American
Cancer Society’s 8th Annual Cattle Baron’s Ball in Shreveport, Louisiana! This social event, benefiting
the American Cancer Society in Northwest LA, is scheduled for Saturday, August 22nd 2015. This
western themed gala will feature a delicious dinner, including live music, dancing, party photos, as well as
silent and live auctions. You do not want to miss a part of this incredible evening!
Last year’s Baron’s Ball raised over $47,000 and we anticipate an even bigger and better event this year.
The money and awareness raised for the local American Cancer Society programs through this event is
what makes this a party with an amazing purpose! In 2014, over 640 cancer patients in Caddo/Bossier
were served by the American Cancer Society with approximately 1,400 FREE services and programs,
such as wigs, prosthesis, “Look Good…Feel Better” program, “Reach to Recovery” program, as well as
“Road to Recovery” program. In addition to local services provided, Louisiana currently has 2 ACS funded
research grants, including 1 grant inside LSU- Health Science Center in Shreveport totaling over $1
million!
We are pleased to invite you to be among the elite group of sponsors which are available at a variety of
levels. The Baron’s Ball Committee looks forward to your participation this year! Please look over the
enclosed packet. In order to receive full sponsorship benefits, we ask that your commitment be received
by Monday, June 29th. Please feel free to contact us, we are happy to answer any questions that you may
have. Thank you, in advance, for supporting your local American Cancer Society and improving the
quality of life for cancer patients and their families in our community.
With Kindest Regards,
Rachel Stern
