And the day ends with more breaking news concerning Lisa and Clay Cooley. Well, sorta.
This morning the Dallas Symphony Orchestra President/CEO Jonathan Martin revealed that Lisa and Clay would be co-chairing the 2017 DSO Gala in September. Just minutes ago, more than 400 Cattle Baron’s Ball types learned the deets for the 2017 American Cancer Society fundraiser at a reveal party sponsored by Clay Cooley Auto Group.
But you really want to know the news revealed. 2017 CBB Co-Chairs Sunie Solomon and Anne Stodghill (aka “Suni-Anne”) told the crowd at Anne and Steve Stodghill’s estate-sweet-estate (aka “Stodg-villa”) that this year’s theme would be “Shooting For The Stars — A Dream As Big As Texas” with the party returning to Gilley’s Dallas on Saturday, October 21.
Now for the big news. Providing the boot-kicking entertainment on the Main Stage for the expected 3,500+ cowgirls and cowboys, it will be country western favs Brooks and Dunn.
The gals have Jamie Jo Boulogne, Dawn Greiner and Jonika Nix as underwriting co-chairs; Lisa Bhattacharya, Lora Farris and Lauren Snyder as auction co-chairs; Marjon Henderson and Lisa Shirley as live auction co-chairs; and Marybeth Conlon, Laura Reeder, Amanda Shufeldt and Nikki Webb as raffle co-chairs.
The website is trying to catch up with Suni-Anne, so if you want to lock down a sponsorship or a big-buckeroo package, call 214.443.9222.
