2012 Masquerading Angels Ball Master of Ceremonies, Annette Newell

 

Meet our emcee for the 2012 Masquerading Angels Ball, NBC 17 Reporter, Annette Newell!

Annette Newell is an Edward R. Murrow Award winning journalist with more than 10 years of experience reporting in North Carolina.

Annette first began working with CHERUBS this year when she interviewed the charity for a piece on the International Day of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness.

2011 CDH Raffle - Win a Cruise for 2 Aboard Carnival Cruiselines!

http://2011cdhraffle.eventbrite.com/ 



Win A Cruise For Two!

Sponsored by Sports & More!

Tickets are $5.00 each.  Buy 4 tickets and get an addition ticket for FREE!

The winner will be selected at the 2011 Masquerading Angels Ball on October 22nd.

Money raised through this charity raffle will go to help families of babies born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH).  CDH occurs when the diaphragm fails to fully form, allowing abdominal organs into the chest cavity and preventing lung growth.   CDH occurs in 1 of every 2500 births; somewhere in the world, a baby is born with CDH every 10 minutes. 50% of babies diagnosed with CDH do not survive.  The cause is not known.  Over a half million babies have been born with CDH since 2000.  CDH is as common as Spina Bifida and Cystic Fibrosis but there is very little awareness and even less research. CHERUBS is working hard to raise more CDH Awareness, and in turn, more CDH Research, while we continue to support families affected by this devastating birth defect.

Learn more about CHERUBS and CDH at http://www.cdhsupport.org

Meet Our Band - Bull City Syndicate / Cafe Mars

From the band's site:

No other band from the Carolinas, or the entire Mid-Atlantic region for that matter, dares attempt the intricate fusion of rhythm-section funk, 4-horn firepower, and soaring vocals this band throws down each time they play live.

Featuring the Bull City Horns on their front line, Bull City Syndicate has been building a loyal and ever-growing following for twelve years featured not only at the top area restaurants and clubs, but also statewide at music festivals, colleges, weddings, private and corporate parties, as well as many local and national charity events. It will be worth your effort to check out why Bull City Syndicate is more than just a cliche' wedding band, why they are one of the most in-demand bands in the Mid-Atlantic states, and why the crowds at their public appearances are always filled with musicians from other bands.
