Last year, a casual event put on by the Roswell Park Alliance Foundation managed to raise $180,000, all while staying laid back and leaving the black ties and penguin suits in the closet. This year, they’re pleased to bring back “Denim and Diamonds” in the Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park right on our revitalized waterfront.

The casually elegant evening invites participants to wear their most glamorous denim for a summery cocktail party. About 600 people are anticipated at the event and they will have the opportunity to dance under the stars, cocktails in hand, and bid on great silent auction prizes, all while wearing a pair of jeans. You can also enjoy hors d’oeuvres and if denim isn’t your deal, try some business casual. Most importantly, don’t forget your jewels. This event has its name for a reason!

All money raised benefits the Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Roswell was the nation’s first cancer research, treatment, and education center. The donated money from the tickets and the auction go to supporting research and programs that are crucial for thousands of cancer patients.

Tickets are $100 each and are available here or you can call 845-8788. Visit Roswell’s website for more information about what they do. The event is on July 18th from 6 till 11 PM aboard the USS The Sullivans and the USS Little Rock. If you haven’t seen these ships before, this event will be a good way to accomplish multiple goals – see the new waterfront, see ships at the Naval and Military Park, wear all the rocks your body can hold, finally get to be comfortable in jeans at a party, and, most importantly, support cancer research.
