Two Dallas nonprofit organizations have partnered to help North Texas children battling cancer. Carson Leslie Foundation and Grant Halliburton Foundation, neighboring tenants at Pegasus Park, are teaming up to deliver smiles to kids battling cancer and their caregivers at Children’s Health Children’s Medical Center Dallas.
On Thursday, October 20, more than 1,000 Hope Squad members across North Texas attended the first ever Texas-Sized Hope Squad Conference to learn how to break the stigma of mental health and provide help and hope to their fellow students and communities. Collaborating for this important event is The Jordan Elizabeth Harris Foundation, Grant Halliburton Foundation and The Grace Loncar Foundation, all local nonprofits founded in memory of a loved one lost to suicide.
Their hearts for service brought them together, and now Dixey and Ginger often co-chair events together, including this year’s Beacon of Hope luncheon benefiting Grant Halliburton Foundation and presented by the David B. Miller Family Foundation. The event, set for Tuesday, March 10 at the Omni Dallas Hotel, raises funds and awareness to address mental health issues among youth in Dallas. The Honorable Patrick J. Kennedy – former U.S. Representative, founder of the Kennedy Forum, co-founder of One Mind and New York Times best-selling author – is the featured speaker.
