Let’s make this short and sweet because you’re gonna want to get your reservations in ASAP.
If you’re a fan of “House of Cards,” then you definitely know Robin Wright. If you remember Forrest’s love in “Forrest Gump,” then you saw Forrest love of Jenny (Robin). If you recall “the 1987 “The Princess Bride,” then you remember Robin with long flowing hair.
But did you know that she was born in Dallas? Did you know her mom was a Mary Kay national director? Did you know she’s going to be the keynote speaker at the Phoenix House’s Triumph for Teens Luncheon at the Omni Dallas Hotel on Thursday, May 7?
It’s a natural fit. Robin is the honorary spokesperson for the Gordie Foundation, which was established by Leslie and Michael Lanahan following the death of their son, Gordie Bailey, resulting from a hazing incident involving alcohol.
The luncheon that is being chaired by The Honorable John Creuzot will honor the Lanahans “for their courageous and monumental efforts in raising awareness and establishing a nationwide campaign to fight substance abuse.”
