We had a fantastic time at this year’s Giving Gala and hope you did too, from our Dallas Catalyst Project-themed strolling dinner to Phil Vassar’s rollicking performance to toasting to the next 25 years of good works in the Dallas community. The evening was everything we could have imagined.

Giving Gala proceeds benefit the ongoing three-year plan to revitalize the Forest District in South Dallas alongside St. Philip’s School and Community Center, Cornerstone Baptist Church, and Forest Forward as part of the Dallas Catalyst Project. Having surpassed $1.7 million, the Dallas Catalyst Project is our most ambitious community investment initiative ever.

During Thursday’s Gala, we also further detailed our three-year, $6 million grant from JPMorgan Chase to continue bringing equitable development and affordable housing options to the Forest District, The Bottom, and West Dallas Census Tract 205 as the Dallas Collaborative for Equitable Development.

The award-winning singer-songwriter Phil Vassar provided the evening’s entertainment.
