College Football Hall of Fame to Host ‘Princess and Pirate’ Fundraiser

By Rick Limpert @RickRoswell · On February 1, 2016

It’s once again time for the annual ‘Princess and Pirate’ fundraiser that supports The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

The annual ‘Princess and Pirate’ fundraiser, held to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is back again and will be held on Friday, Feb. 5, 2016 to honor those who have fought, won and are still fighting cancer. All proceeds from the evening will benefit and support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

This year’s fundraiser will be held Friday, Feb. 5 from 7pm – 10pm at the College Football Hall of Fame in downtown Atlanta. Purchase tickets in advance for $25/adults and $10/children under the age of 12 here. Please include “RSVP for Princess and Pirate fundraiser” in the notes section. Ticket prices at the door will be $30/adults and $15/children (under the age of 12).

“This annual event honors our special cancer fighters and survivors,” said Wendi Verzosa, Founder of the ‘Princess and Pirate’ fundraiser and twelve year Team in Training veteran who has raised more than $50,000 for cancer research. “The theme of the evening provides an outlet for our young honored heroes to dress up and enjoy a fun night out, which helps them to forget about their illnesses and treatments,” said Mrs. Verzosa.

The evening is loaded with fun and will feature generous sponsors, including Atlanta Fever Entertainment, the College Football Hall of Fame, Tavola Italian Kitchen + Bar, Seasons 52, Post Exchange Catering, WZ Tavern, Mystical Parties Entertainment and many more. These local businesses are participating by donating their services or providing costumes, food and favors, some of which will be part of a raffle at the event. Get your tickets now and get out to help support this great cause.
