Welcome to this evening’s gala and thank you so much<br />

in South Texas. This devastating disease has affected<br />
so many people in our community and we are no<br />

Many patients depend upon the <strong>American</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong><br />
<strong>Society</strong> f<strong>or</strong> transp<strong>or</strong>tation and other necessary resources<br />
to help them through their journey with cancer. Please<br />
consider extending your supp<strong>or</strong>t by donating to the<br />
raffle, silent and live auctions and other fundraisers<br />
tonight to help the <strong>American</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Society</strong> expand<br />
their help to these patients.<br />
We thank our guests, spons<strong>or</strong>s and all of the hard w<strong>or</strong>king<br />
individuals who served on the many committees created to<br />
hold an event of this magnitude. Because of your eff<strong>or</strong>ts,<br />
we all made this a sell-out event! Enjoy the evening!<br />

A longtime friend of the <strong>American</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Society</strong>,<br />
Don Strange, the patriarch of the internationally<br />
renowned catering company, Don Strange of Texas<br />
Inc., passed away Wednesday, November 11, 2009<br />
at the age of 69. Don Strange and his wife Frances<br />
were the Co-chairs of the <strong>American</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Society</strong><br />
<strong>Cattle</strong> Baron’s <strong>Gala</strong> in 2009.<br />
Strange is best known f<strong>or</strong> his larger than life<br />
presence, passion f<strong>or</strong> his family and his life-long<br />
love of Texas cuisine. Don Strange is often credited<br />
by many f<strong>or</strong> putting Texas on the culinary map.<br />
Don was part of the <strong>Cattle</strong> Baron’s <strong>Gala</strong> from the<br />
beginning. Starting with the first <strong>Cattle</strong> Baron’s in<br />
Dallas, Don created the signature menu and style of<br />
<strong>Cattle</strong> Baron’s.<br />
As the <strong>Cattle</strong> Baron’s expanded — cities across<br />
Texas called on Don Strange to help them create<br />
successful events.<br />
Over the years Don helped the <strong>American</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong><br />
<strong>Society</strong> raise millions of dollars f<strong>or</strong> the fight against<br />
cancer by creating incredible parties that kept guest<br />
coming back year after year.

Help a Patient<br />
on the Road<br />
to Recovery<br />
Those diagnosed with cancer face many<br />
medical, physical, and emotional issues<br />
surrounding the disease. <strong>The</strong>ir only hope<br />
can mean hundreds of trips to doct<strong>or</strong>s,<br />
specialists, hospitals, and treatments.<br />
This presents a serious challenge f<strong>or</strong> those<br />
who do not have access to transp<strong>or</strong>tation to<br />
get to their treatment. Without treatment<br />
their hope is gone.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>American</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Society</strong>’s patient<br />
transp<strong>or</strong>tation program ensures these<br />
patients a ride to their life-saving<br />
treatment and gives them a whole lot of<br />
hope. Methodist Healthcare Ministries has<br />
donated $100,000 towards this program.<br />
Our goal is to match that amount. During<br />
the gala you will have the opp<strong>or</strong>tunity to<br />
give to this imp<strong>or</strong>tant cause, if you are<br />
unable to attend you can make a donation<br />
using the enclosed replay card.

San Antonio. Since then, it has become the largest<br />
fundraising event f<strong>or</strong> the local chapter of the <strong>American</strong><br />
<strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Society</strong>. It has netted m<strong>or</strong>e than $7 million f<strong>or</strong><br />
cancer education, supp<strong>or</strong>t, research, and advocacy.<br />
