A place of reflection, the Hero’s Wall will be in the Serenity Park area near the entrance of the ball. Everyone is invited to bring photos or memorabilia to add to the wall. Permanent markers will be available for attendees to add messages.<\/p>\n

The wall will feature a poem titled “The Roses” by Marilyn Odvody of Morse Bluff, Neb. The poem is a tribute to a loved one who lost their battle with cancer. It also will feature a photo of Cheryl and Steve Fisher of Amarillo, Texas. Steve, a former Omahan and graduate of Burke High School, is a cancer survivor who was treated at the UNMC Eppley Cancer Center. The Fishers plan to attend the 2002 ball.<\/p>\n

The Hero’s Wall will become a Cattlemen’s Ball tradition, returning each year. To have your loved one included, contact Ken Sabata at (402) 784-3154 or bring your memorabilia to the ball.<\/p>\n

    The Cattlemen’s Ball is held each year to showcase rural Nebraska, promote beef in a healthy diet and to raise money for health care research. The UNMC Eppley Cancer Center in Omaha is the primary recipient of this fund raising effort with 90 percent of the proceeds going toward cancer research programs at Eppley. The remaining 10 percent of the funds raised stay in the local area and are used for health care activities. The UNMC Eppley Cancer Center received $133,000 for cancer research from the 2001 Cattlemen’s Ball at the Thacher Cattle Company, southeast of Valentine, Neb.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
