Denim & Diamonds Information:


This is our 11th year and we had big plans this year. But, like all of you, we didn’t anticipate COVID-19.

We tried as long as we could to hold out JUST in case, but the reality is very clear. The American Cancer Society is a health organization and our #1 priority is the safety of people. It is simply not safe to have 500 women in one room together. Over half of the women in the room are considered in the high-risk category. Many of them are cancer patients and we simply can not take any chances that someone could get seriously sick from COVID-19 just so we could have a fun night with our friends.

Is the event canceled? Not totally. COVID-19 has caused many events to simply cancel and we didn’t want to do that.

We still wanted to do “something” to celebrate our cancer survivors and our friends and still raise some money for the American Cancer Society.

The American Cancer Society, among other businesses and non-profits, has been drastically affected by COVID-19. We anticipate being down $200 million this year in donations. We had a massive lay-off of staff and the remaining staff has all taken pay cuts. We have made other adjustments as well. We are in the critical stage of just trying to fund cancer research we committed to and keeping the doors to our 34 Hope Lodges across the country open for cancer patients and caregivers.

You won’t be dancing and eating and shopping with your friends at the Center for Rural Development on August 13th, but we still need your help.

We appreciate all the local businesses who have donated to this online auction.

BIG thanks to Ford Brothers Inc for partnering with the American Cancer Society on this auction.  Please remember, your bids are a tax-deductible donation to the American Cancer Society.

Mark your calendars for next year’s event on August 12th, 2021, when we can all be together!

American Cancer Society Programs and Services:

Hope Lodge

Sometimes patients need to travel to Lexington, KY or Nashville, TN for cancer treatment requiring weeks or months away from home. The American Cancer Society has Hope Lodges in both locations to provide free temporary housing so patients can focus on fighting their disease without worrying about lodging expenses. Most importantly, the Hope Lodge offers encouragement and support from others going through the cancer journey.

Reach to Recovery

There’s nothing quite like speaking from experience, and when breast cancer survivors share their story with newly diagnosed patients, it provides much-needed support. The Reach to Recovery volunteer visitation program provides information and one-on-one peer support for those concerned about breast cancer. All volunteers are breast cancer survivors and are trained and certified.

Road to Recovery

The American Cancer Society’s Road to Recovery program provides rides to patients who have no way to get to their cancer treatment.  Some patients may not be able to drive themselves, and family and friends cannot always help.  That’s when the American Cancer Society Road to Recovery program can help. If you would like to volunteer to drive local patients to local treatment, please let us know.

National Information Center and Web Site

The American Cancer Society’s cancer information and resource service are one of several ways the organization is helping those concerned about cancer. This nationwide helpline, available any time, day or night, answers thousands of calls each week from cancer patients, their family members and friends, and others with questions about cancer-related issues. Trained cancer information specialists are on hand to answer questions and connect callers to resources. By contacting the American Cancer Society, cancer patients can quickly receive treatment information and information on local support programs. Caregivers can access information on coping. General information, including facts and statistics about cancer, is also readily available. The American Cancer Society is the only nationwide cancer organization to offer its information service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To reach the American Cancer Society by phone, call 1-800-227-2345.  For information online, visit cancer.org.

Denim & Diamonds Information:


This is our 11th year and we had big plans this year. But, like all of you, we didn’t anticipate COVID-19.

We tried as long as we could to hold out JUST in case, but the reality is very clear. The American Cancer Society is a health organization and our #1 priority is the safety of people. It is simply not safe to have 500 women in one room together. Over half of the women in the room are considered in the high-risk category. Many of them are cancer patients and we simply can not take any chances that someone could get seriously sick from COVID-19 just so we could have a fun night with our friends.

Is the event canceled? Not totally. COVID-19 has caused many events to simply cancel and we didn’t want to do that.

We still wanted to do “something” to celebrate our cancer survivors and our friends and still raise some money for the American Cancer Society.

The American Cancer Society, among other businesses and non-profits, has been drastically affected by COVID-19. We anticipate being down $200 million this year in donations. We had a massive lay-off of staff and the remaining staff has all taken pay cuts. We have made other adjustments as well. We are in the critical stage of just trying to fund cancer research we committed to and keeping the doors to our 34 Hope Lodges across the country open for cancer patients and caregivers.

You won’t be dancing and eating and shopping with your friends at the Center for Rural Development on August 13th, but we still need your help.

We appreciate all the local businesses who have donated to this online auction.

BIG thanks to Ford Brothers Inc for partnering with the American Cancer Society on this auction.  Please remember, your bids are a tax-deductible donation to the American Cancer Society.

Mark your calendars for next year’s event on August 12th, 2021, when we can all be together!

American Cancer Society Programs and Services:

Hope Lodge

Sometimes patients need to travel to Lexington, KY or Nashville, TN for cancer treatment requiring weeks or months away from home. The American Cancer Society has Hope Lodges in both locations to provide free temporary housing so patients can focus on fighting their disease without worrying about lodging expenses. Most importantly, the Hope Lodge offers encouragement and support from others going through the cancer journey.

Reach to Recovery

There’s nothing quite like speaking from experience, and when breast cancer survivors share their story with newly diagnosed patients, it provides much-needed support. The Reach to Recovery volunteer visitation program provides information and one-on-one peer support for those concerned about breast cancer. All volunteers are breast cancer survivors and are trained and certified.

Road to Recovery

The American Cancer Society’s Road to Recovery program provides rides to patients who have no way to get to their cancer treatment.  Some patients may not be able to drive themselves, and family and friends cannot always help.  That’s when the American Cancer Society Road to Recovery program can help. If you would like to volunteer to drive local patients to local treatment, please let us know.

National Information Center and Web Site

The American Cancer Society’s cancer information and resource service are one of several ways the organization is helping those concerned about cancer. This nationwide helpline, available any time, day or night, answers thousands of calls each week from cancer patients, their family members and friends, and others with questions about cancer-related issues. Trained cancer information specialists are on hand to answer questions and connect callers to resources. By contacting the American Cancer Society, cancer patients can quickly receive treatment information and information on local support programs. Caregivers can access information on coping. General information, including facts and statistics about cancer, is also readily available. The American Cancer Society is the only nationwide cancer organization to offer its information service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To reach the American Cancer Society by phone, call 1-800-227-2345.  For information online, visit cancer.org.
