Dust off your formal attire and secure your mask for a night of fun and fundraising for The Anchor Cross Cancer Foundation.

The Annual Masquerade Ball at the Daphne Civic Center brings patients and supporters from across the Gulf Coast together to "mask out" cancer for one night.

The Anchor Cross Cancer Foundation is a 501(c)(3) foundation dedicated to patient assistance and community education while improving the health and wellness of the counties we serve in the Gulf Coast region. With support from the community, they help qualified patients by providing such financial relief as assistance with utility bills, aid for prescription co-pays, transportation to and from treatment and purchase of necessary medical supplies.

In 2023, ACCF granted over $136,000 in total assistance for 130 patients, covering bills and expenses related to the treatment of their disease.

The evening will delight guests with music from Journey 2 Mars, dinner from JT Specialties & More and Sheepshead Eats, plenty of beverages and spirits and a specialty drink from The Hope Farm. More than two dozen auction items will be available for live auction and silent auction.

The Annual Masquerade Ball is Saturday, June 8, from 6-10 p.m. Tickets are $75 per person and are available now. To purchase or to find out more, visit www.anchorcrossfoundation.org.
