Having a blast at the '08 Camo Ball

It’s that time of year again. Summer is winding down, hunting season is just around the corner and Hunt for a Cure’s annual Camouflage Ball is finally here! This Saturday, August 8 Hunt for a Cure will host its 9th annual Camouflage Ball to raise money in the search for a cure for the terminal disease, cystic fibrosis.

The event starts at 5:00 PM and will be held at Devos Place in downtown Grand Rapids, MI . All who wish to attend are invited. Tickets to the Ball can be purchased online at www.huntforacure.com or 616-455-9405. The costs will go to a research program taking place at Michigan State University that has already began making progress toward a possible new form of treatment that would greatly slow the growth of fibrosis in the lungs and is enthusiastically pushing forward with their research.

The evening will be full of activities such as dinner, music and a variety of exciting raffles and auctions. If you are unable to attend, but would still like to make a donation please call 616-455-9405 for more information. If you are a business owner, you are encouraged to purchase a sponsorship for this or another upcoming event. Some of the raffles that will be taking place are the Ted Nugent raffle where three people will be drawn for a chance to win. First prize will be a hog hunt at Sunrise Safaris in Jackson, MI with Ted Nugent, second prize is a $500 gift certificate to Cabela’s and third prize is a free Scent-Lok suit. Tickets for this raffle are $20. Remington Firearms will be there with a few guns to raffle off as well as many more companies with great and exciting products and packages. The auctions that will be taking place offer everything from vacation and hunting packages to guitars, guns and major league baseball packages. There is truly something for everyone.

BACKGROUND- Hunt for a Cure was founded in 2001 by Pete Odland when he was sitting in his tree stand one day thinking about a better way he could help people with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Pete’s then four year old son suffers from CF so Pete and his family were already helping with existing fundraisers, but Pete wanted to do more for his son and others that suffered from the terminal disease. People soon jumped on board with Pete’s dream and were eager to help Hunt for a Cure get up and running. Eight years ago Pete approached Scent-Lok Technologies about being a sponsor for the foundation. After meeting Pete and seeing his enthusiasm Scent-Lok embraced the cause and became the title sponsor for Hunt for a Cure.

Ever since, Hunt for a Cure continues to grow and raise money to help find a cure for CF. Since their start in 2001, Hunt for a Cure has raised over $500,000. There are over 40 volunteers currently involved with Hunt for a Cure and they are always looking for more to help the cause.

Please help those in need by supporting Hunt for a Cure’s mission. With your help, Hunt for a Cure can help those suffering from cystic fibrosis live to see their dreams come true.
