Celebration of Life Luncheon Raises $20,000+

We’d like to thank everyone who made it to the Celebration of Life Luncheon on October 30th, 2009. The luncheon was a great success with an excellent fashion show presented by Julian Gold. Not only were the fashions something we all wanted to wear, but the models were inspiring – all of them breast cancer survivors taking the run way for the cause. The guest speaker, Texas First Lady Anita Perry, made note of all of the Survivors in the room and spoke about fighting for a cure and the Silent Auction was very successful with great prizes including shopping sprees, signed memorabilia and weekends away courtesy of The Omni. We’re excited to announce that we raised $20,800 at this event and $17,500 will go to the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation for breast cancer research and education and $3300 will be given locally as scholarships for Zetas at The University of Texas at Austin, Texas State and/or Southwestern University.

This could not have happened without the generous donations made at the event as well as the following sponsors:

JoDeane Bradford

Mary Walcutt

Nan Boettcher

Jean Andrews

Tricia & Todd Dugan

Paula Reinemund Duke

Karen Easterling

Lucy Netherton
