2019 TAG HEUER INDY 500 VIP EXPERIENCE

As the official timepiece of the world’s most legendary race, the Indianapolis 500, TAG Heuer is offering you and one guest an opportunity to win a once-in-a-lifetime weekend for two at the 2019 running of the Indianapolis 500.

The VIP package includes two domestic business class round-trip airfare tickets to and from the race, ground transportation to and from local airports, two nights in a premium hotel in Indianapolis, two private dinners, and on race day, a police escort to and from the Indy 500 track with special access to the TAG Heuer VIP Lounge. Enjoy special access to the “pits” where you can get an up close view of all the sights and sounds of this race. You can experience the thrill of victory as you cheer for your favorite driver. All in TAG Heuer style!

Long after the checkered flag has been raised, you will be able to enjoy a special edition of the brand’s most iconic chronograph, The Monaco Gulf Special Edition. The Monaco was launched in 1969 and is historically the first Swiss made automatic chronograph that is both square and waterproof and was crafted in honor of the long-standing partnership with the Monaco Grand Prix.

TAG Heuer ambassador Steve McQueen famously portrayed driver Michael Delaney, while sporting a Monaco Calibre 11 in the 1971 film, LeMans, which depicts the golden age of motor racing. The McQueen-LeMans legacy is symbolically portrayed in this chronograph showing off the Gulf stripes, which served as the racing colors of his Team Gulf Porsche 917. The special edition Monaco Gulf with its orange and blue parallel stripes, blue leather strap with orange top-stitching, offset crown, and bearing the classic HEUER logo, pay tribute to the rich history and 50th anniversary of the Gulf Racing stripes.

Valid only during Indy 500 Race in May 2019. No exchanges or refunds on TAG Heuer timepieces. Trip details to be booked through TAG Heuer.

PADDLE RAISE!

Traditionally, all proceeds from the Cattle Baron’s Ball fund cancer research. Since it is our mission to attack cancer from every angle and we are passionate about helping veterans, all proceeds from the paddle raise will be ear-marked specifically for veteran-related cancer services, programs, and vital research.

We feel deeply that veterans and their families fighting cancer need our support, and this is an incredible way to make a direct, meaningful impact on their lives. We are passionate about our state and country, and want to make sure that those who have protected us are taken care of in the fight against cancer.

Kickin’ It to Cancer is what we do, and funds gained in the paddle raise will have true and lasting results for those who have sacrificed daily for our well-being and safety. We are eager to bring a much needed awareness to our community. Let’s help them give cancer the boot!

ART FOR A.L.L. CHILDHOOD LEUKEMIA RESEARCH

Olivia Bennett Teeuws, a childhood cancer survivor, has created a painting for the 2018 Cattle Baron’s Ball in which the funds raised will specifically underwrite a research grant for childhood A.L.L. Leukemia. This original work of art, titled, “Texas Revisited,” is an acrylic triptych on three separate canvas panels, each measuring 72” x 48”.

Olivia is a nationally recognized art prodigy who found her artistic gift at age 5 while battling A.L.L. Leukemia. What started as a hobby and emotional escape from her cancer treatment soon turned into a passion and full time career. She sold her first piece of art at the age of 8, and from there, she started showing her work at local art shows around Texas. At age 12, she received national attention after her meeting with President Bush and her appearance on the The Oprah Winfrey Show. In 2003, she was named, “One of the 20 Teens Who Will Change the World” by Teen People Magazine for her entrepreneurial and philanthropic work.

The money raised from this painting will directly fund research by Lauren Ehrlich, PhD through the University of Texas, Austin. The research regards the Identification of Mediators in the Tumor Microenvironment Promoting T-ALL. T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a cancer developing T cells that predominantly affects children. The goals in the proposal are to determine whether specific stromal cells support tumor growth of T-ALL, identify the signals they use to support tumor growth and determine whether these same mechanisms are active in T-ALL patients.

No returns or exchanges on artwork.
