The ACS Foundation, with its corporate sponsor, Acclaimed Home Care, is proud to kick off this holiday season with its Acclaimed Holiday Schmooze/11th annual Black and White Ball on Wednesday, Dec. 4, at 6 p.m. at The Townsend Hotel in Birmingham. This “beautiful people” and the highly anticipated social event have sold out since 2011. It includes a first-class strolling feast, open bar and dancing. Jeff Cates, the owner of CAPS Remodeling, is the 2019 recipient of the Catalina Andres Humanitarian Award. This “Dress to Impress in Black and White” gala will benefit the Coalition Protecting Auto No-Fault (CPAN), which benefits all of the citizens of the state of Michigan.
