Dear Friends,
It is our privilege to welcome you to “Stargazing on the Brazos,” the 2011 Cattle Baron’s Ball celebrating twenty-four years of VICTORY. Our heartfelt thanks go to our underwriters and contributors, whose generosity never ceases to amaze us. This event could not happen without our dedicated VICTORY members, along with the staff of the American Cancer Society, who have worked so tirelessly to organize and present a fabulous evening. We give our loving thanks to our family and friends for their support during the past year. Our founders had a vision to find a cure for cancer. We are extremely proud that, since its inception, VICTORY, a volunteer fundraising branch of the American Cancer Society, has raised over $29 million dollars to further this cause. In 2010, the American Cancer Society, Gulf Coast Region provided over $25 million in programs, research and services.
Please enjoy an evening of music, dancing, gaming, fantastic food and fun as we look to the stars and envision a victory over cancer in our lifetime.
With sincere appreciation,

Holland, Senior Managing Director, CB Richard Ellis – South Texas / Louisiana, to help fund the American Cancer Society’s Access to Care Programs.
