The 11th Annual Ann Williams Brittain Butterfly Release will be held at the Fleur de Lis stage on the Cane River downtown riverbank Saturday, March 22, 2014. All proceeds from this event will be donated to the American Cancer Society through the Les Amies Service Organization's Relay for Life team.
The Release is named in honor of Les Amies First President and Founding Member, Ann Williams Brittain, who passed away in 2003 after her courageous fight with cancer.
For the Butterfly Release ceremony we are offering individual butterflies to be released by the purchasers at a cost of $30 per butterfly. There are an unlimited number of $5 honorees to be represented by our larger mass release butterfly boxes. Tickets are available for purchase through any Les Amies member, and will also be available for purchase at the Les Amies tent at Bloomin' on the Bricks starting at 10:00 am on March 22nd.
The boxes of butterflies for the mass release will be released by family members of Les Amies Past Presidents who have lost their heroic fight or are currently battling cancer.
