Honorary Chairs Emily and David Corrigan and Event Chairs Henny Wright and Ed Stead have put together quite an evening to raise funds for the Museum’s “education initiatives, including a scholarship program that opens the door for at-risk school children in North Texas to visit the Museum.”
That means you won’t be able to have dinner catered by Kent Rathbun or participate in the incredible auction of —
