Thank You to our Grand Patrons!

For more than 30 years, Vintage Affair has brought our community together to celebrate hope, generosity, and the fight against cancer. Thanks to incredible supporters like you, this event has raised millions of dollars to fund lifesaving research, provide free lodging and transportation for patients during treatment, support advocacy efforts, and advance the mission of the American Cancer Society.

This year, for the first time ever, Vintage Affair and the Grand Patrons’ Dinner will be combined into one special evening on October 1st at The Country Club of Mobile. Together, we will honor the philanthropic spirit of our Grand Patrons while celebrating the lasting impact of Vintage Affair in one unforgettable, hope-filled night dedicated to ending cancer as we know it, for everyone
