What a Ball, Y’all
Cowford raises $288,000
The Cowford Ball presented by Morgan & Morgan, held Nov. 4 at Deerwood Castle in Jacksonville, raised $288,000 for the American Cancer Society to “help end cancer as we know it, for everyone.” The western-style event, which included auctions of children’s artwork and entertainment by Dean Winter and the Heat, had a focus on the organization’s Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation Hope Lodge, a free home-away-from-home for cancer patients and their caregivers.
In its long history, Cowford Ball has become the No. 1 charity fundraising event for the American Cancer Society in the Jacksonville area, having raised more than $9 million since its inception.
