OC Barons’ Ball BULLETIN 2007 A publication of the OC Barons, a fundraising arm of the American Cancer Society Orange County Throws Legendary Hollywood Bash! More than 800 Orange County philanthropists revisited classic Hollywood at the newly named OC Barons’ Ball, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to fight cancer. The 8th OC Barons’ Ball, “Legends of Hollywood: OC goes Hollywood to Cure Cancer” was Co-Chaired by Debbie & Gary Douglas who dedicated themselves whole-heartedly throughout the entire year to make the gala a success. Organization for the Ball began in early 2006 with our Logistics team, headed by Ken Agid, taking care of those ‘behind-the-scenes’ details that make the Ball appear seamless. Randy Moore made sure legal issues were taken care of and Katie Mueller ensured that the event was packed with the who’s-who of Orange County as the chair of ticket sales. Kristin Scheithauer, Debbie Douglas of Douglas Advisors and their communications committee, garnered more ink and airtime for the Ball than ever before, successfully handling the name change and building a crescendo of excitement leading up to and following the Ball. As Printing Chair, Sharon Esterley worked with MyPrint Corporation and Blue C Communications to create the stunning invitations, evening programs, and other printed materials. The evening of the Ball found Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort transformed into tinsel town, complete with a red-carpet arrival, paparazzi, and on-camera interviews with a Joan Rivers look-alike, Gloria Zigner from Orange Coast Magazine and Pat Buttress from the former Adelphia Communications. The stars of OC philanthropy including Honorary Co- Chairs Julia & George Argyros, Paul & Daranne Folino, Kent & Trina Barkouras, David & Kristine Heil, Pascal & Christine Olhats, and many others, were decked out in their finest. Betty & David Comegys spent most of their evening behind the cameras. Preserving precious memories, this dedicated couple captured the evening on film and video, along with Peggy & Patrick O’Donnell, who also photographed the event. Michelle Hoffman and Bob Stevenson led the evening’s Volunteer Committee who ensured guests received services fit for Hollywood royalty from the moment they stepped foot on the red carpet. VIP guests were in for a treat at the VIP reception, organized by leading ladies Barbara Steinberg and Bobbitt Williams and sponsored by First Team Estates and Dani Gold. The party was a hit with flashing VIP lapel pins, delicious appetizers, and wonderful spirits. Jenny Gerard helped the gentlemen of the Gentlemen’s Club shine, glitzing them up with recognition for joining.

Inside the Ball, Gerald Ishibashi and the Stonebridge Band rocked the house with live dance music, and big screens aired live personal interviews of the guests as they arrived. Decorations from the Décor Committee, led by Co-Chairs Margo Ferris and Phil Brandt transformed the Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort into a true tinsel town. Upon entering the tents, guests were transported to the glamour of old Hollywood with finishing touches like velvety red carpet and even statues of Oscar himself. The centerpieces, designed by Margo Ferris, Phil Brandt and Julie Aros and constructed by our fabulous volunteers, were a highlight with many taken home by appreciative guests at evenings end. The Entertainment Committee led by CoChairs Donna Bianchi and Julie Aros, made sure guests were never short on activities. Guests could rub elbows with Lucy Ricardo, Marilyn Monroe, Jack Nicholson, Whoopi Goldberg and Elvis Presley impersonators, watch classic movie clips projected on the big screen, try their luck at the Hollywood and Wine Toss sponsored by Stuart Cellars Vineyard and Winery, play in the High Rollers Poker Tournament, and enjoy Dancin’ with the Stars of the Hollywood Starlets Dance Review. “Hollywood Pork” was the home of the traditional and ever popular Pig Races, run by Guests saluted cancer survivors, crusaders or lost loved ones by purchasing a memento to be hung on the Tribute Wall, organized by Tribute Wall Chair Bette South with help from Ray Brandt.

The Live Auction, headed by Wendy Kan, and the Silent Auction, headed by Pat Bennett, were both smashing successes. As in previous years, both auctions offered bidders once-in-a-lifetime opportunities and unique items. The Live Auction was once again a high point of the Ball. The top item was a weekend getaway with nationally known Chef Pascal Olhats on a “Sideways” venture created by Pascal in Paso Robles. The item sold for $14,000 to Brad & Lisa Mitchell.

The ever-popular gift bag, chaired by Jeanie Gibson, was once again sponsored by CWS- Bobbitt & Bill Williams and Steve Sherwood, and was filled with goodies including T-shirts commemorating the 8th annual event. “Legends of Hollywood: OC Goes Hollywood to Cure Cancer” was successful thanks to everyone who helped in ways large and small.
