Cattle Baron’s Ball
The 21st annual Cattle Baron’s Ball that benefited the American Cancer Society was held at Tampa’s new Armature Works,
a fully restored event venue adjacent to the Hillsborough River. The sold-out event helped to raise funds for research,
treatment, patient support and cancer prevention. Plan to attend next year’s event on February 23, 2019.
Event chairs Michael and Gail Nursey were
happy with the large turnout that made this
annual fundraiser for the American Cancer
Tropical Nights
Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful, an affiliate of the national organization Keep America Beautiful, held its annual Tropical Nights
fundraiser at the TPepin’s Hospitality Centre in Tampa. Guests enjoyed endless food stations provided by Tampa Bay area
restaurants, while visiting with friends and colleagues and bidding in the silent and live auctions. Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful
inspires and educates people to take action every day to improve and beautify their communities by envisioning a country where
every city and town is a clean, green and beautiful place to live.
