2 Join us and become an underwriter for the American Cancer Society's Cattle Baron's Ball of the Rio Grande Valley. Be a part of one of the most impactful charitable events of Cattle Baron's Ball of the RGV ChaiRMeN On behalf of the American Cancer Society, it is our distinct honor to be named the General Chairmen of the 2015 Cattle Baron s Ball of the RGV. Please join us as we get ready to dust off our boots and kick up our heels for a cure at a "Starry Night Over the Rio Grande." Young or old, male or female, cancer is a disease that does not discriminate. We have personally seen the devastating effects of this terrible disease, and it is my hope that by supporting and donating our time and efforts, we might all be able to make a difference. The Cattle Baron s Ball of the RGV has a rich history of hosting the best non-profit event in the Rio Grande Valley, as well as doing a tremendous job of raising much needed funds. Said funds allow the American Cancer Society to continue it's mission of helping people stay well through prevention and early detection; helping people get well by reducing barriers to treatments; by funding cures through ground breaking research, and by fighting back through public policy efforts. Last year, the Cattle Baron s Ball raised $118,000 for cancer research, and it is our goal to raise even more this year, but we cannot do it without your help. The generosity of businesses and individuals in our great community is something we need to make this year's event the best yet. We'd like to thank you for your time and contribution as we saddle up for a night to remember! Everyone knows someone affected by cancer, and we invite you to get involved however you can and help us continue to make a difference. Together we can finish the fight! 2015 Cattle Baron s Ball of the RGV Chairmen Christina & George Cardenas

3 2015 Honoree ChairmaN It is our privilege to announce Myssie Cardenas-Barajas as the 2015 Honoree Chairman for the Cattle Baron s Ball of the RGV. In July of 2006, Myssie s mother, Mimi Cardenas, was diagnosed with Stage IV Colon Cancer. Three years later, Mimi s sister, Luz Gomez, was diagnosed with Philadelphia chromosomepositive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). As a family they fought bravely until 2011, when Mimi s youngest child and only son, Donny Cardenas, fell victim to the stress that plagues family and caregivers and died suddenly of a stroke at the age of 38. All three of Myssie s family members lost their lives that year within six months of each other. It was during that year that Myssie made a promise to her family - to be an advocate for cancer awareness, addressing the issues that her mother and Sissy witnessed during their battles. Shortly before Sissy passed away, she asked Myssie to start running for her so that she wouldn t suffer the health dangers that her family did. Myssie hasn t stopped running since and documents her journey in her extremely candid blog, RunMyssieRun.com, through which she inspires her entire community to do the same and not take health for granted. Thousands have followed her courageous journey filled with faith, hope and an unwavering determination to make the impossible possible, specifically a world without cancer. It is with great adoration that we honor Myssie and her family at this year's Cattle Baron s Ball. Sincerely, Christina & George Cardenas For more information on becoming a sponsor, contact: Aida Moreno American Cancer Society
