Enjoy foods from India, China, Mexico and Italy. Just for fun, dress in the garb of a favorite country or wear your jeans. Dance to the music of Harmon Drew Super Group. Bid in the fabulous auction for items ranging from a trip to India, stays in Colorado and the Gulf Coast, art, jewelry, dinner, fashions and services. Practice your "futbol" -- that's soccer to us in the United States -- to win prized pieces. Clarkes Jewelry is providing $10,000 in sparkling goodies.
Sponsorship begins at $1,500 for a table of eight or $375 per couple. Call Anne Higdon at 318.813.1423 for more information.
Life Savers fundraising has allowed Feist-Weiller Cancer Center to grant
three Idea Awards in 2011 for cancer researchers to develop their ideas. This brings local competitive grants to 25, worth a total of $1.3 million. Twelve of these scientists have been successful on the national level, bringing $8 million back into the community. To purchase tickets online visit the
Feist-Weiller Cancer Center Donation Form and choose the program Life Savers.
