The 2009 Ugly Christmas Sweater Party

It's the 2009 Ugly Christmas Sweater Party at The Lazy Chameleon!! Find those embarrassing shirts, skirts, sweaters and hats and come on down! $50 will be awarded to the top "Ugly Christmas Sweater." Live entertainment by Controversy, an excellent 70's, 80's and 90's rock and dance band. You can even get a "Shot With Santa" - $5 donation gets you a Jello shot and a Polaroid with Mr. & Mrs. Clause. So be ready with your Christmas Wishes and for photos with Santa for all Nice Adults. Naughty will be rejected! Expect 250+ partygoers - It's A Big Bash! The cover is only $5 cash, or check payable to Nationwide Children's Hospital Foundation as a charitable donation! Get your holiday shopping done, too, as we are holding a silent auction of great gift items. That's right - you get to party and Christmas shop all in one place! All silent auction proceeds will fund our "Cancer Can't Stop Christmas!" Children's Celebration on Dec. 26th for children battling cancer (and their siblings) as well as children with a parent currently in active treatment or whose parent passed away while in treatment since last year's event. Thanks! COC will again host an event designed to restore hope in the lives of families battling cancer that "Cancer Can't Stop Christmas!" Children's Celebration. The event will take place December 26, 2009 at 5:00 p.m at The Double Tree Hotel in downtown Columbus. In 2008, 54 kids effected by cancer and their families were offered a wonderful holiday meal and gifts. Let's make 2009 an even greater success. Families attending the Dec. 26 event will be served an great dinner and the children will receive "Cancer Can't Stop Christmas!" Wish List presents from Santa and Mrs. Claus. To receive presents all children are 17 and under and are either in active treatment (or are a sibling), have a parent in active treatment or have had a parent pass away in 2009 (or since the last event) while in active treatment. If you know a family with children in this situation, please contact Rich Brown or Mary Jenkins. COC offers emotional support & financial assistance to families in active cancer treatment. If you know someone struggling to get by emotionally or financially, COC is a wonderful resource. Mary Jenkins is a member of this meetup group, so contact her directly if you have questions or recommendations. Rich Brown - Organizer
