LtoR: Roger Hendren, McGladrey; Madeleine Smith, LeukemiaTexas; Mandy, Kaitlyn, and James Johnson.

LeukemiaTexas kicked off the month of October with a Patron Party to celebrate the sponsors and partners of their upcoming BeatLeukemia Ball.

Held on Oct. 4 at deBoulleDiamond and Jewelry, guests were entertained with Beatles music by Complete Music, wined and dined by Wendy Krispin Catering, and inspired by Kaitlyn Renee and family, who shared their personal story of their perseverance in battling and beating leukemia.

“Bank of Texas is proud to continue our sponsorship of the Beat Leukemia Ball.  The Sponsor Party was not only a very nice prelude to the Ball, but it was a terrific opportunity to meet Kaitlyn Renee and her family, to hear their story and be reminded of why we support LeukemiaTexas.” Cass Robinson, Senior Vice President, Bank of Texas

Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the BeatLeukemia Ball is set for Saturday Oct. 27 at the Omni Dallas Hotel. Known for its appeal to get everyone on the dancefloor, this Ball not only promises a fun night, but it will paint the picture of the need for leukemia support in Texas and how each donor is making a difference to eradicate leukemia.
