Auction Action for Everyone!

We're getting excited about the upcoming 7th Annual Bill Fleeman Gentlemen of Distinction Event! It's scheduled for October 1st at the John Q. Hammons Convention Center in Rogers. Last week we announced the 13 great local guys we have lined up to model for us.

Just in case the idea of seeing local guys strutting their stuff in some fantastic clothing from this fall's HUGO BOSS fashion lines isn't enough to make you buy a ticket - get a load of the fantastic list of auction items we have on the block:

Six nights at Palazzo Condominiums
Palazzo is one of the newest ocean-front resorts in Panama City, Florida. You'll enjoy the luxury of a 3 bedroom condo on the 13th floor with a full gulf view! Fantastic! It's packed with too many amenities to name, but suffice to say you'll have the option of a dip in the pool, a stroll on the beach or a workout in the fitness center located in the building.
Donated by Neal and Angela Hefner.

Dinner with Dr. and Mrs. Malcolm Hayward
This experience has consistently been one of our most popular auction items, so we are offering it to the masses yet again. Malcolm and Ellen are known for both their culinary and entertaining skills, and the evening will surely be one-of-a-kind. Eight lucky folks will enjoy a meal to remember!

Golf with John Pelphrey
It's not every day you get the chance to play a round of golf with the head basketball coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks, but that day has come! All you have to do is show up with your clubs and a friend - and have a great time! (Course TBD)

Trout Fishing on the White River
Every serious trout angler knows about the White River. This package includes two days of trout fishing with a professional guide and accommodations at Cedarwood Lodge. The Lodge is located in an area of the river away from the busiest traffic areas and close to some of the best fishing holes on the river. Prepare to relax.

HUGO BOSS Trip to NYC
This one-of-a-kind trip to New York City includes round-trip flight for one, hotel accommodations for two nights, a trip to the HUGO BOSS showrooms with Donny Hubbard of Bauman's and Andrew Weisbrot of HUGO BOSS and dinner one night of your stay. A clothing package valued at $2,000 is also included! Donated by HUGO BOSS, coordinated by Donny Hubbard of Bauman's Fine Clothiers.

Treatments for Two at Hull Dermatology
Are you tired of dates with your special someone that leave your fingers greasy with popcorn butter and feeling like you will never get those two hours back again? Here's a deal that will have you looking and feeling better than any dinner and a movie ever could! Share a Day of Dermatology with your significant other (or your BFF) in the care of Hull Dermatology. Package includes microdermabrasion for 2, botox for 2, laser hair removal treatment (axillae) for 2, Clarisonic Sonic Skin Cleansing System for 2, Elta MD facial sunscreen for 2 and an awesome selection of CeraVe cleansers and lotions.

Local Gentlemen + HUGO BOSS = Great Event!

For the last seven years we have invited local gentlemen to support us by participating in a fashion show for a cause. The 7th Annual Bill Fleeman Gentlemen of Distinction Fashion Show and Award Dinner is scheduled for October 1st , and promises to be another great evening of fashion, live and silent auctions, and an award for a very deserving gentleman who has made a difference in cancer care and support in Northwest Arkansas.

This year, our fashion show will once again be styled byDonny Hubbard of Bauman's Fine Clothiers. (Check out the fantastic article about Donny in the September issue of Citiscapes Magaine!)  We are on the edge of seats to see our guys rocking the runway wearing HUGO BOSS fashions exclusively presented at our event. Bauman's will also have a HUGO BOSS boutique set up at the event, and 10% of sales from that evening will be donated to Hope Cancer Resources. You won't find this kind of access to HUGO BOSS merchandise anywhere else in Northwest Arkansas!

Once again, we have a great list of men modeling for us - perhaps you know a few of them?

Happy New Year!
The changing of the year can be a great time for us to look ahead with a renewed sense of hope, and optimism  for good things to come. If you are making the journey through cancer treatment, or are close to someone who is, we wish for healing, cures, and clean follow-up visits to be yours over the next twelve months.

Toward that end, we are excited to start the new year with a renewed enthusiasm for the work we do for our community! As many of you may know, Hope Cancer Resources is an agency built on the past successes and future plans of two separate entities - the Northwest Arkansas Radiation Therapy Institute (NARTI), and H.O.P.E., Inc. (Helping Oncology Patients Excel). In September of 2009 the merger was completed, and we are starting off 2010 with a brand new website to show off.

We have included all of the great information that was available on our individual sites before, and have combined everything into what (we hope) is a cohesive, easy-to-read place to find support, resources, and information on cancer treatment in Northwest Arkansas and beyond. Take a look, and let us know what you think!

Upcoming Event - the 12th Annual Le Chocolate Feast 
It's a win-win situation, really. Here's how it works: First, you purchase a ticket for yourself, and maybe a few more to hand out to your friends and co-workers. Next, you show up at the Northwest Arkansas Mall on Saturday, January 30th between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. While your purchase price helps us provide screening programs, education, and emotional and financial support to our community, you get to enjoy the delicious chocolate-themed offerings of over a dozen local bakeries, restaurants, and caterers!

Tickets can be purchased in advance at the Northwest Arkansas Mall business office (during office hours), or at our office on Hwy. 412 West between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. New this year: You can also click on the button located on our website's Special Events page to make a secure purchase online! 
Note: If you are making an online purchase of adult tickets and children's tickets together, simply add the first batch to your cart, close the "cart" window, then select the number of the other kind of tickets you need... when you click the "Buy Tickets Now" button the 2nd time, your cart will be updated with both selections.

A Fare to Remember
Andy's Frozen Custard
Bliss Cupcakes
Brick House Kitchen
Candy Bouquet
