Nearly 2,000 area business leaders will be at the 27th Annual Leukemia Ball, Presented by PhRMA this Saturday, March 22, says 2014 Leukemia Ball senior co-chair Candace Duncan, here with last year’s comedian, Jim Belushi. The Ball raises money for innovative life-saving research and patient programs funded by The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, LLS. On Saturday, Huey Lewis and the News and comedian Ryan Hamilton bring their talents to the 2014 shindig: Imagine Someday Is Today. LLS’s mission is to cure blood cancers and provide help to patients and their families. The Ball is one of the most anticipated non-political black-ties of the year. Candace, retired managing partner, KPMG Metro Area, has been working hard with co-chair and BB&T Bank Group prez Dan Waetjen to make this year’s gala a success. Few tickets remain.
