Scene Around Town: Dallas CASA and The Family Place

As Society Editor for the Katy Trail Weekly I oversee the publication's Scene Around Town feature, which shines a spotlight on nonprofit and community events each week. In this week’s July 22 issue, I was pleased to spotlight photos featuring highlights from Dallas CASA who hosted a sold-out crowd of 400 at the Omni Dallas Hotel for their annual Cherish the Children luncheon. Dallas Mavericks CEO Cynt Marshall and WFAA-TV anchor Cynthia Izaguirre shared their professional commitments and personal connections to children in foster care. Also featured were scenes from the annual ReuNight fundraiser benefiting The Family Place, Dallas-based family violence agency and largest service provider in Texas. Held at the Nasher Sculpture Center Garden guests mixed and mingled amidst exquisite modern art to bring awareness to and raise money for ending domestic violence.
