Feb 27 (Williamsville, NY) – Diamond Ball

The Diamond Ball is the premier Black Tie Gala of the Western & Central New York Chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). The concept of the Diamond Ball is that each guest receives a pouch containing a genuine gemstone; one pouch contains a ONE-CARAT DIAMOND. The event will feature cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, dinner, a live band, and a Silent Auction that will include luxury items. The “Service to Mankind” award will be presented to John Rodgers, Executive Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer, Independent Health, who has dedicated a great deal of his time and effort to the LLS. The Ball will take place at Samuel’s Grande Manor in Williamsville, NY from 6 p.m. to 11:45 p.m. Please see Web site for more details and to view photos from the 2009 event.
