Grant Halliburton Foundation hosted The Hope Party Patrons and Appreciation Event at Bachendorf’s Galleria Dallas on October 12 to thank sponsors and supporters of the upcoming annual fundraiser.

The Hope Party co-chair Diana Hamilton gave remarks and welcomed guests to the event.

“Thank you for turning out tonight,” Hamilton said. “The Hope Party continues to grow thanks to you, our generous supporters. We have a fun filled evening planned for November 18 with a cocktail reception, dinner, dancing to the music of Stratosphere, a wine pull and a fabulous auction. And it’s your support that allows Grant Halliburton Foundation to give help and hope to young people and their families.”

Kevin Hall, Grant Halliburton Foundation president, gave his thanks and appreciation to The Hope Party sponsors and thanked honorary co-chairs, Lael and Peter Brodsky.

“This year’s theme, ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ is what we tell people every day,” Hall said. “Don’t give up hope that you or your loved one can find help and live mentally well.”

Miles Parker, The Hope Party auction chair, discussed the exciting auction, which includes amazing trips, exclusive experiences, and one-of-a-kind items. Amanda Bailey, The Hope Party tribute wall chair, spoke about the tribute wall, which is new this year.

“You can purchase a spot in memory or in honor of someone special to be displayed on a featured tribute wall at The Hope Party for $250,” Bailey said. “Even if you’re not attending, you can purchase a tribute to honor a friend, loved one or colleague.”

The Patrons and Appreciation Event was hosted and sponsored by Bachendorf’s Galleria Dallas. Bar sponsors included Brown Sugar Bourbon and Flecha Azul Tequila.
