Falcons Honor Breast Cancer Survivors at 4th Annual Dazzle and Dine

On Tuesday, October 2, the Atlanta Falcons hosted the 4th annual Dazzle and Dine event to honor five breast cancer survivors. The five ladies were treated to a little “Dazzle” at Jamison Shaw Hairdressers and then “Dined” at Ray’s on the River. Each of the ladies honored is an active participant in her community and a courageous steward in raising awareness for breast cancer.
The 2012 Dazzle and Dine winners were: Beverly Anderson, June Barnes, Jo Ann Doyle, Suzanne Osborn and Charlotte Scarlett.  The ladies started the day off with a head-to-toe pampering at Jamison Shaw Hairdressers, where they each received hair, make-up and nail services. Following their “dazzle”, the ladies were escorted by a limousine provided by Cooper-Atlanta to dinner at Ray’s on the River, where they were greeted by a guest of their choice and Atlanta Falcons players Sam Baker, Matt Bosher, Matt Byrant, Tyson Clabo, Thomas DeCoud, Ray Edwards, Joe Hawley, Luke McCown, William Moore, Stephen Nicholas, Christopher Owens, Michael Palmer, and Lousaka Polite. Matt Bosher, whose mother is a 20 year breast cancer survivor, addressed the group and spoke about the importance of raising awareness for breast cancer and recognizing the ladies for their efforts. In addition, Sam Baker, whose mother is also a breast cancer survivor, provided an inspirational message about the courage of the ladies.
The ladies each received a gift basket of pink Falcons apparel and four tickets with sideline passes to the October 14 Falcons game where they will be honored during an on-field presentation. The Atlanta Falcons and NFL Partnership Fund will also be providing a local non-profit breast cancer awareness organization of the winner’s choice with a $1,000 grant in their name.

Many people had a hand in making Dine and Dazzle a huge success. The ladies received complementary gifts and services from Jamison Shaw Hairdressers and Cooper-Atlanta.
