According to Methodist Health System Folsom Leadership Award Co-Chairs Lottye and Bobby B. Lyle,

We, along with Nancy Ann and Ray Hunt, Jeanne L. Phillips and Gail and Gerald Turner, are co-chairs for the 2017 Methodist Health System Folsom Leadership Award. This year, our good friend, David B. Miller, is the honoree, and we will celebrate him on Wednesday, October 25, at a dinner from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Hilton Anatole Hotel. This award was established in 2005 to recognize individuals who have demonstrated commitment and excellence in community leadership, and who emulate the achievements of the late Dallas Mayor Robert S. Folsom.

We feel very strongly that David Miller clearly exemplifies Bob Folsom’s legacy as a revered community leader, serving Dallas with integrity, humility, and respect. Like Bob, David’s leadership as an entrepreneur and business pioneer, as well as his caring manner, generosity and concerns for others who are less fortunate, have made a lasting impact on Dallas.

This year is particularly poignant because of the recent passing of Bob Folsom.  We hope to make this a very special year, as we pay tribute to Bob as well.

For those who may have not attended any of the Folsom events in the past, the evening is very personalized for the recipient.  We will continue that tradition as we recognize David.  You can count on some fun and unexpected surprises! It is David’s evening, so we’ll focus on his life—from his favorite activities (think basketball) to his favorite foods and favorite charitable causes, as well as the some of the people who have had an influence on his life!  We hope you’ll join us in honoring one of Dallas’ most admired citizens.

All proceeds from the annual dinner will go to support the good work of Methodist Health System.  Sponsors who contribute $10,000 or more will be recognized as Leadership Circle Donors and will receive an invitation to attend the Patron Party, hosted by President George W. Bush and Laura Bush (she’s a 2008 Folsom award recipient) in the fall.

Those interested in supporting the Robert S. Folsom Award can contact Methodist Health System Foundation Vice President Joy Duncan, at 214.947.4602 or [email protected]. More information is available at https://foundation.methodisthealthsystem.org/events/folsom/.
