Scene Around Town: Community Partners of Dallas and CancerBlows

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 May 12 issue, I was pleased to spotlight photos featuring highlights from the 17th annual Chick Lit Luncheon benefitting Community Partners of Dallas presented by Dr. Robert and Lara Tafel. More than 1,100 attendees attended the annual event, which featured a conversation with TV personality, author, and philanthropist, Lisa Vanderpump. Also featured re scenes from CancerBlows who returned to Dallas this past March with a crowd of nearly 1200 and a legendary line-up of world renowned brass musicians to raise awareness and money for cancer research and patient support programs with a focus on blood cancers and multiple myeloma.

  • Please send a minimum of 4 images for consideration

  • No repeats (meaning the same person can’t be in multiple shots)

  • You must ID the people in each photo (left to right)

  • Please send one event submission per email with the name of the event in the Subject line
