Dear Friends, It is no secret that cancer is our enemy an enemy that the American Cancer Society has fought since 1913. This fight continues, and the American Cancer Society is making great strides to defeat this enemy. The next major battle in our community will take the stage literally-on March 31, 2012, when the American Cancer Society s Couture for the Cause fashion show is presented by Sterling McCall Lexus. This unforgettable 1920 s Puttin on the Ritz themed show will be held at the home of long time Sugar Land residence, Cindy and Randy Garbs. We will reveal the latest fashions on amazing models, some of whom you may know, as they strut the runway. The next battle is imminent; won t you join the fight? Your financial support and attendance at the event will strengthen our mission. Please consider the most appropriate sponsorship level for you or your organization and let us know how you will help. Proceeds raised at Couture for the Cause will go toward the Society s mission of saving lives and eliminating cancer by providing much needed funds for life-saving cancer research and patient services and programs. Thank you for fighting with us. Marji Strohm Event Chair KK West Honorary Chair Scott West Honorary Chair A Note From the Chairs Presented By
