The 7th annual UNC Lineberger Beach Ball was held this year at the newly renovated Chapel Hill Country Club. The change of venue was accompanied by a fresh approach to the theme: a South Beach/Hamptons-style white party.

Over 600 guests, donning various shades of white and beige, enjoyed the party which also offered elements of Beach Balls past: live music by The Troupers, delicious food and drink, fun decorations, and a silent auction with a wide array of items to purchase. The event raised $110,000 to support the care and treatment of cancer patients, bringing the event's 7 year total to over $875,000!

  

UNC Lineberger Board of Visitors members Janis and Jeff Tillman graciously opened their home for the pre-party cocktail reception, where more than 150 guests enjoyed an elegant reception poolside prior to the White Party.
