When we were approached as a group to chair the 2016 American Cancer Society Cattle Baron s Gala, we did not have to think twice to say yes! We were honored, but more than that, we were thrilled that we were given this extraordinary opportunity to help cancer patients in our community. It made sense for us, and not just because Methodist Healthcare Cancer Network cares for thousands of cancer patients a year, more than any other hospital system in South Texas; but also, because each and every one of us has been touched by cancer; either as survivors ourselves or a family member or friend who has fought this disease. The Cattle Baron s Gala supports our mission of fighting cancer together, by joining physicians, community organizations, and individuals to all work toward a common goal of curing cancer. We ask that you help us in the fight against cancer. There are multiple ways you can support our efforts: Underwrite or sponsor the Gala Purchase a table or tickets to the Gala Donate an item to our auction This event is one of the major sources of fundraising for our local Society and the services they provide every day to cancer patients. Donations help fund local programs such as transportation for patients to treatment, or hotel services when they are traveling away from home for treatment, vital resources and information, free wigs and emotional support, and dollars to fund research grants right here in San Antonio. Over the past 38 years, the Cattle Baron s Gala has raised more than nine million dollars toward the American Cancer Society s mission to save lives in San Antonio. The generosity of businesses and individuals in our community is paramount to the success of the Cattle Baron s Gala. Please join us in the movement to save more lives! Thank you, Jaime and Lori Wesolowski Michael and Kimberly Beaver Barry and Irma Burns Geoffrey Crabtree Scott and Michele Davis Matt Duke Wes and Melinda Fountain Kevin and Jennifer Moriarty Gay and Stan Nord Greg and Donna Seiler Marc and Paige Strode Skip Wood The American Cancer Society appreciates any monies or items you can contribute; please know refusal to contribute will not affect your business relationship with Methodist Healthcare.
