31st Annual Care Affair Event Benefits CURE Childhood Cancer
Fighting childhood cancer is the primary goal for guests at the 31st Annual Care Affair Event, http://www.care-affair.com. The gala fundraiser on March 22, 2014 at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, raises money for CURE Childhood Cancer, http://www.curechildhoodcancer.org/, in support of their mission to conquer childhood cancer in our lifetime.
Hosted by the Tri Delta Atlanta Alumnae Chapter since 1983, http://atlantatridelta.com/, the annual Care Affair event is an evening of dinner, live music and exciting auction items including weekend getaways, fine jewelry, restaurants, spa, and entertainment options, all to benefit CURE and the Tri Delta Foundation. Last year’s event raised $100,000, and Atlanta Tri Deltas have raised over $1.9 million for CURE in the past 30 years.
