The 2012 Baron's Ball theme was "Ring of Hope."
Aunt Carolyn made all of the table decorations herself
She also made all of the HOPE signs...
The Cranky Queen, Heiress Aunt Carolyn & Cranky Em
These were candles "In Honor" or "In Memory" of our loved ones sponsored by different people. They are "STARS OF HOPE"...
My Aunt adores LSU...this was her favorite boot!
Check out this "newspaper" boot~
Did I mention that Aunt Carolyn was the 2012 Honorary Chairman & presented her inspirational journey.
Pictured above is our generous & kind friend, Stephanie, & my Mother, Emily Ruth~
Pictured on the right is Stephanie & the one & only, Cranky Queen~
The evening was a success & the hard work of many "paid" off raising funds to help local cancer patients as they battle the disease! A live & silent auction, Gold, Sterling & Silver sponsors, table sponsors & Stars of Hope donations all helped to raise over $100,000.00!

By the end of the evening, we were all "happily" exhausted...As I embraced that moment, I said a little prayer thanking God for my Aunt Carolyn...her will to fight & never give up, her encouragement to family & friends even when she was ill, & her infinite faith are all gifts that I cherish & admire.
STAY CALM & SUPPORT THE CAUSE!

ReplyDeleteThis summer when we lost my beloved Aunt to cancer, I took on a whole new appreciation for cancer survivors and all the families affected by cancer. I'm glad the night was such a special event. Love all the variation of cow gal boots.
