The Dallas Morning News is reporting that the 87th Linz Award will be presented to Debbie Branson at the Omni Dallas Hotel on Wednesday, April 6.
In addition to being a fourth-generation attorney and involved in various community efforts (Dallas Women’s Foundation, Dallas CASA, UT Dallas Center for Children and Families, etc.), Debbie has served as Parkland Memorial Hospital’s chairman of the board of managers since 2011 and saw it through its dramatic growth and transformation.
Created in 1924 by Linz Jewelers, the award is today sponsored by Signet Jewelers’ Zales Jewelers and The Dallas Morning News but continues to “recognize a Dallas County resident (or couple) in honor of civic service or humanitarian efforts.”
According to Signet Jewelers VP of Corporate Affair David Bouffard, “As a result of her dedicated support, Parkland Hospital now has a significantly higher level of operational and organizational functioning, providing sustained, high-quality care and meaningful services for the community.’
Chaired by Patti Flowers, the luncheon benefits the Junior League of Dallas’ Community Service Fund.
