There’s Just Nothing Like A Million Dollars

Nov 3, 2014 9:30 AM by Jeanne Prejean

In this day and age when thin is in, don’t you just love an occasional round, plump something. Now, just think about it. The full moon? A glorious, pink peony in full bloom? A juicy, ripe plum?

Well, for the last couple of weeks the ultimate round, plump things have been hitting Dallas fundraisers full blast.

First, the Baylor Health Care System Foundation’s Celebrating Women scored a major coup the day before the October 24 lunch benefiting efforts to rid the world of breast cancer. The Baylor crew held their breath and their silence until the luncheon and then Foundation President Robin Robinson announced that the Spangenberg Family Foundation had gifted $1M for the battle. More about that in a later post.

Then word just arrived via Co-Chairs Tiffany Divis’ and Jennifer Houser’s carrier pigeon that the Zoo To Do scored $1M Saturday at the Dallas Zoo fundraiser. More about that in a later post.

Still another million plus was raised at the Dallas Holocaust Museum‘s annual “Hope for Humanity” on Thursday, October 30. This record-breaking year was honoring Stan Rabin.

If you don’t think $1M fits the round, plump description, rethink. A one followed by six zeroes seems pretty darn round and plump around here, especially when it’s benefiting North Texas charities.
