VICTORY Houston (a volunteer branch of the American Cancer Society) presented a donation to the American Cancer Society for $4.2 million. This money was raised through the Holiday Shopping Card last October and Cattle Baron’s Ball in April 2015. The Holiday Shopping Card gives shoppers who buy it a 20 percent discount at select stores every fall for a couple of weeks. Last year’s officers were 2014 Holiday Shopping Card chairs Price DuBose and Ashley Wright, president Dee Darby and 2015 Cattle Baron’s Ball chairs JoLynelle Farina and Becky Joy. This year’s officers include 2015 Holiday Shopping Card chair Laura Oden; president Gigi Harbison (pictured, center) and 2016 Cattle Baron’s chairs Allison Filkerski (at left) and Lauren Maloy (at right). The ball is set for April 30. See cattlebaronsball.org.
