Volusia Law Firm to help sponsor “Denim and Diamonds” Ball to benefit America Cancer Society

DAYTONA BEACH – The Port Orange-based law firm of Rue & Ziffra is a gold sponsor of the inaugural Cattle Baron’s Denim and Diamonds Ball set for June 18 in Daytona Beach.

A fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, the five-hour event begins at 6 p.m. at the Daytona 500 Club, inside the Daytona International Speedway at 1801 W. International Speedway Blvd.

Organized by a volunteer committee, the annual ball is hosted by the Volusia-Flagler Unit Board of Directors of the American Cancer Society.

Highlights will include a performance by country music recording artist Heidi Newfield, food created by the Daytona 500 Club chef, dancing, exciting casino games and two auctions.

During both live and silent auctions, guests may place their bid for a BMW or other valuable items donated to the organization by generous sponsors, according to Allan L. Ziffra, president of the personal-injury law firm.

“We’re very happy to be a sponsor of an exciting event for the community that also helps a great organization like the American Cancer Society,” said Ziffra, whose firm also helps sponsor other ACS events like the annual Relay for Life run.

Leslye Gale of Magic 107.7 FM and Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson will share hosting duties. Paul Hoover of Florida Hospital and Marisol Moreno of Homewood Suites are Cattle Baron Ball chairs, Dr. Beverly Grissom is co-chairman, and Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood is honorary chairman.

Proceeds from the ball will be used for research, advocacy, education and patient services throughout the American Cancer Society. Funds received during the live auction will benefit ROCK (Reaching Out to Cancer Kids).

Tickets for the event are $100 per person. For more information, contact Robin Mozingo at 386-561-1695, 386-274-3274, ext. 5851, or Robin.Mozingo@cancer.org, or visit www.TheBaronsBall.com.

Volusia County Law Firm Employees Participate in American Cancer Society's Annual Relay for Life Walk

PORT ORANGE – Nearly a dozen employees from the personal-injury law firm of Rue & Ziffra will take part in the 2010 “Relay for Life of Port Orange” on April 30.

The walk, an annual event to raise funds and awareness for the American Cancer Society, will begin at 5 p.m. at the City Center Complex, 1000 City Center Circle.

The 18-hour relay – one of many being held throughout the state – consists of those who have cancer, those who are remembering loved ones and others who are fighting back against the disease.

Other highlights of the event will be the inspirational Survivors’ Lap and a candlelight ceremony.
Lynne Cheekv, a case manager for the Port Orange-based firm, will serve as captain for the Rue & Ziffra team.

“We’re honored to have Lynne lead our group this year,” firm President Allan Ziffra said.
“Community service is no stranger to her as she’s chaired other service committees and received a community leadership award from the Volusia Council of Governments for her work.”
Ziffra said his firm raised around $4,000 last year for the American Cancer Society. “We hope to top that this year.”
