Greetings! I am Dr. Alison Laidley of Texas Breasts Specialists at Texas Oncology. For more than 10 years, I have been working with remarkable patients who have courageously allowed me to be part of their journeys in fighting cancer. They have shown me that together we can make a difference in battling this disease. It is my hope that, with your help, no one will ever walk alone again. So I hope you’ll consider supporting the new non-profit Laidly Ladies Foundation that is dedicated to helping under-funded families receive excellent breast cancer care year-round through a variety of events in which both women and men– patients or not—can be involved.

Laidley's Ladies & Gentlemen

But why should the ladies have all the fun? We offer many events geared to our wonderful sons, husbands, fathers and male friends and patients as well. Now, in its second year, the LL&G Charity Golf Tournament is a day filled with sporting contests and celebrity hijinks on the picturesque golf links at Bridlewood. This year’s tournament is on June 13, 2013. Call 214-704-4026 to register.

Saving Lives One Bite at a Time

Throughout the year, we also feature wine dinners, cooking classes, and other epicurean fund-raisers. The next event is a wonderful wine dinner on April 25 in partnership with our longtime LL&G sponsor Chef Gorji at Canary By Gorji. Call 972-503-7080 to make a reservation.

Walking together in the fight against Breast Cancer

October is filled with fund-raising fun. Our team, Laidleys Ladies and Gentlemen, is one of the Metroplex’s largest teams of runners and walkers that participate in annual fund-raising Run/Walk events to help find a cure for Breast Cancer. The team is not only for patients but for anyone who has had breast cancer touch their lives, the lives of their friends or loved ones. LL&G is made up of patients, their families, friends and patients caregivers. For the last two years, Laidley's Ladies has won the team t-shirt design contest, and for the past three years we have had the largest team in the medical category. Last year was our largest yet at 652 members.. Lace up those sneakers and join us Oct. 19. Call 972-566-7499 to register.

Casino Fun

And, last but not least, our signature event, a casino-style party on October 12, features dancing, magic, live and silent auctions, and a few Vegas-style surprises. I hope you and your friends will join us at our annual gala. Call 972-566-7499 to receive an invitation to this must-attend event.

Join the Journey

I hope you will consider becoming a sponsor of Laidley's Ladies Foundation to ensure that no one will ever walk alone. The benefits of sponsorship are many and completes our true "team" approach to fighting cancer.

With thanks!
