Grand Illusions Sauté – Ohio Valley
For 28 years, Ohio Cancer Research (OCR) has proudly celebrated and lightly toasted (okay, maybe just sizzled—but never fully roasted!) the most influential and successful business and civic leaders in the Ohio Valley. All in the name of raising vital funds to fuel groundbreaking cancer research.
This year, we’re turning up the heat once again for the 29th Grand Illusions Sauté, where we’ll honor and sauté President & Owner Ted Showalter and salute Whiteside of St. Clairsville Inc. on Thursday, May 8, 6:00 p.m. at Undo’s West, St. Clairsville, Ohio.
Please join the fun by purchasing a table or tickets for the evening. We look forward to your presence at this exciting event and encourage those of you who are unable to attend to donate to this very important cause.
