Le Bonheur Children’s is an important organization for the health and wellness of the children of the Mid-South, and as such there are groups that do things to support the hospital.  I thought I would take the time to tell you about an event that is benefiting Le Bonheur Children’s.  The event, sponsored by YALL (Young Adult Le Bonheur Leaders), is the Big Wig Ball.

If you haven’t heard about this already let me be the first to tell you about it.  This Saturday, April 10, 2010, the 3rd Annual Big Wig Ball will be held at Minglewood Hall.  The event is described as “a night where guests will adorn themselves in wigs of every style, size and color.”  There will be live music by MissUsed, so plan on dancing your feet off.

Oh, did I mention that you ticket will cover food and beverages for the evening?  The food will be from Memphis area restaurants.  Wondering which ones, here are a few: Mesquite Chop House, Muddys Bake Shop, Chick-fil-a on Union, LeCole Culinaire, Spindini, Pa Pa Pia, The Margarita Guys, The Rendezvous,Café Society, Just for Lunch, Kooky Canuck,Daylight Donuts

So, if you can’t tell, there is truth in advertising.  If you attend, the event starts at 8:00 p.m., and you’ll need to wear your favorite wig.  You can either dress party cool or whatever best compliments your wig.  Half of the fun is to see the wigs that everyone wears, and after last year, I’ll tell you that there are some crazy ones.

Come and hear some great music, taste delicious foods from Memphis area restaurants, and help support Le Bonheur Children’s.  I promise that you’ll have a fantastic time, and will have lots of great stories to tell your friends.  Oh, did I mention that you can order your tickets online?  Well you can!  So, buy your tickets now or buy them at the door!  Just make sure that your there.
