  Saturday, November 10th, 2018
  5PM: VIP reception
  6PM: Cocktail Hour
  7PM: Dinner

  Join us at the American Cancer Society’s Champions of Hope on November 10th for a great night! Great food, dancing, a spectacular auction, and much more, provide for this premier event to be one of a kind. And as we come together to party for a cause, the American Cancer Society will continue to save lives and create more birthdays by helping people to stay well and get well, find cures, and fight back against a disease that has taken too many lives.

  For nearly a century, the American Cancer Society has fought for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. By taking what we’ve learned through research and turning it into what we do, we have contributed to a 15 percent decrease in the overall cancer death rate between the early 1990s and 2005. That means that we helped avoid about 650,000 cancer deaths and created the potential for more birthday celebrations. Overall, 11 million cancer survivors in America will celebrate a birthday this year. Now that’s a reason to party, so join us!

  We hope to see you there!

  You don’t want to miss this magical night of jazz!!!

  January 16, 1938 was a legendary day for swing music lovers. Benny Goodman’s Orchestra played the famed Carnegie Hall and, immediately following his band’s performance, Count Basie’s band battled Chick Webb’s band at The Savoy Ballroom.

For those wanting a beginner swing dance lesson, we’ll have a 30 minute lesson in the back. Then the Hot Tomatoes Dance Orchestra will play three sets separately dedicated to the music of Count Basie, Chick Webb and Benny Goodman’s bands from 8:00-11:00pm.

  Get ready to revel in and dance to the swing music of 1938 at the VFW Post No. 1 at 841 Santa Fe Drive. Capacity is limited, so please purchase your ticket now!

  Tickets are $20 for the dance and talk, $15 for the dance-only when you pre-purchase online.
