The 2009 donation for our chosen charity is $10,000 for the Louisiana Breast Cancer Task Force. We will get to be a top level sponsor of the "Pink Ribbon Fling XI"! The 2009 theme is "South of the Border" and our sponorship level is "The Whole Enchilada" . The event will be held on August 15, 2009 at The Foundry , 333 St. Joseph Street in New Orleans. Our funds have accumulated over our years of DIVA Days and that we hope all DIVAs will continue to support this important cause which has impacted so many of our members. 

We encourage other DIVAs to attend this wonderful event.  Ticket can be purchased by contacting the Cancer Association of Greater New Orleans  at 504-733-5539 or calling our own Maria Burkhardt (2009 DIVA Decked Out DIVA for Breast Cancer Awareness) at 504-669-5331.  Patron Party tickets are $125 and Fling tickets are $75. They DO NOT have a website. (The Task Force is all volunteer organization.)

 In 2009, the Louisiana Breast Cancer Task Force awarded more than $49,000 to recipients across the country.  All proceeds from the Fling were donated for Quality of Life grants throughout Louisiana. The goal of the organization is to eradicate breast cancer - wouldn't that be nice!
