The 2013 Black & White Ball will take place at the Westin - Lombard on Saturday, March 2, 2013. More than 500 guests are expected to attend the black tie event and will include: corporate, sponsors, business and philanthropic leaders and guests.  Attention to every detail of the guest experience is of the utmost importance and will be reflected in the training and roles for all volunteers at the Black & White Ball. 

More than 80 volunteers are needed and we have something for everyone! Parking and refreshments will be provided. If you have questions or require additional information, please contact the Black & White Ball office at 630.932.1151 or by email at acsblackwhiteball@cancer.org

Although the evening is black tie, we do not anticipate that all of our volunteers will have formal-wear.  For ladies we suggest formal attire (floor length gown) or a black dress/black suit.  For gentlemen, we recommend a black tux, black suit or black slacks and white shirt (no tie).
