FOURTH ANNUAL 'PRINCESS AND PIRATE' FUNDRAISER CELEBRATES CHILDREN CONQUERING CANCER

The annual ‘Princess and Pirate’ fundraiser, benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is back by popular demand and will be held on Friday, Feb. 5 to honor those who have fought, won and are still fighting cancer. All proceeds from the evening will benefit and support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

This year’s fundraiser will be held Friday, Feb. 5 from 7pm – 10pm at the College Football Hall of Fame in downtown Atlanta. Purchase tickets in advance for $25/adults and $10/children under the age of 12 at http://bit.ly/1lPmHFM. Please include “RSVP for Princess and Pirate fundraiser” in the notes section. Ticket prices at the door will be $30/adults and $15/children (under the age of 12).

“This annual event honors our special cancer fighters and survivors,” said Wendi Verzosa, Founder of the ‘Princess and Pirate’ fundraiser and twelve year Team in Training veteran who has raised more than $50,000 for cancer research. “The theme of the evening provides an outlet for our young honored heroes to dress up and enjoy a fun night out, which helps them to forget about their illnesses and treatments,” said Mrs. Verzosa.

The evening will feature generous sponsors, including Atlanta Fever Entertainment, the College Football Hall of Fame, Tavola Italian Kitchen + Bar, Seasons 52, Post Exchange Catering, WZ Tavern, Mystical Parties Entertainment and many more. These local businesses are participating by donating their services or providing costumes, food and favors, some of which will be part of a raffle at the event.
