Scene Around Town: Junior League of Dallas and Folds of Honor North Texas
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 February 9 issue, I was pleased to spotlight photos featuring highlights from the Junior League of Dallas where members and guests recently gathered for its annual auction party, themed Leagueapalooza, at The House of Blues. The auction benefits the Junior League of Dallas Community Service Fund, which provides funding and support for JLD’s community grants and programs in alignment with the League’s mission. The evening featured a silent auction, live music, great food, and a wonderful festival atmosphere. Guests enjoyed The Special Edition Band and danced all night long in head-to-toe music festival-chic attire.
Also featured were scenes from the 2023 Folds of Honor North Texas Annual Gala presented by Ryan which welcomed over 1,700 supporters as they filled the playing field of the AT&T Stadium. It was an evening of patriotic inspiration fueled by personal testimonies and stirring presentations from veterans, scholarship recipients and singing of the Folds of Honor Anthem. The annual gala brings together military families, veterans, scholarship recipients and members of the North Texas community in an event of celebration which includes dinner, a live auction, raffle, live entertainment, fellowship and a custom cowboy hat steaming station in partnership withAmerican Hat Company for donors who funded a full Folds of Honor Scholarship ($5,000).
