Thursday, November 3: It’s hard to imagine all the good that has taken place thanks to Habitat for Humanity. For more 25 years, Dallas HfH has helped 850 low-income families through homeownership “resulting in an investment of approximately $95 million in more than 20 neighborhoods” in Dallas County.
If that’s not a great reason to celebrate, then put your head down on the desk and rethink your understanding of great deeds.
For those who appreciate the reason to whoop and holler, you’ll get your opportunity at the Fairmont for the “Unlock the Dream” dinner. Honorary chairs Suzanne and David Holl join event co-chairs Gina and Ken Betts and Paula and Bay Miltenberger in orchestrating quite a night of cocktails, dinner, raffle and, of course, remarks.
But wait! Guess who the featured speaker is. Hint #1: He’s an Olympic Gold Medalist. Hint #2: He’s a two-time Heavyweight Champion. Hint #3: His five sons are named George. Hint #4: His electric grill is legendary.
Just knew that last hint would give it away. Yes, George Foreman will be the keynote speaker and KLUV morning drive host Jody Dean will be refereeing. . . uh, rather, emceeing.
BTW, one of the items being raffled off is a pair of limited edition boxing gloves signed by George.
