Cattle Baron’s Ball
The American Cancer Society’s 2019 Cattle Baron’s Ball in Tampa was chaired by Rita Lowman and co-chaired by Laura Schaffer.
The evening featured cocktails, cowboy and cowgirl grub, games, bull riding, dancing and auctions, along with entertainment by
Southern Train. Since 1998, this western-themed fundraiser has captured people’s hearts as guests “cowboy up to take down cancer.”
Lindsay and Michael Stewart, owners of
717 South and Ava in Tampa, donated a wineand
cheese pairing at 717 South and a dinner
at Ava with World Wrestling Entertainment
star Titus O’Neil to the live auction.
Steve and Julie Weintraub of Gold &
Diamond Source were among the sponsors of
the ball that has been so successful at raising
funds for the American Cancer Society.
Angela Wilson and her TV news anchor
husband Mark were one of the glamorous
couples that came to the ball to aid the
American Cancer Society.
Sculptor J. Harrison Smith and his wife Liz
were in the spirit of the evening as they ate,
Sandy and Sandy MacKinnon, whose
MacKinnon Family Charitable Foundation
is a Laureate Society member of the cancer
society, enjoyed donning western garb to
help fight cancer.
