Donating to the Cattlemen’s Ball
As a donor, you can take great pride in the fact that your financial gift will benefit one of the most worthy causes of our current society – the quest to find a cure for cancer.
Ninety percent of the sum of all donations collected will be given directly to the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center in Omaha, Nebraska. These funds will be used specifically for cutting-edge cancer research. The work done and the strides made by the lab technicians and researchers at the Cancer Center have been phenomenal, but more funds are needed in order that even more can be done in the crusade to eradicate this terrible disease. Your help and generous gifts are so important to their efforts and will keep them moving continually closer to reaching the ultimate goal – a cure for cancer.
In recognition of all the hard work, time and devotion that goes into preparing and executing a Cattlemen’s Ball event, the remaining ten percent of funds raised will be returned to the local communities to benefit area health organizations and initiatives.
We thank you in advance for your gift of kindness and generosity ~ it truly means so much to the lives of so many!
