The Spirit of Taos also celebrates the two -generational support of the Friends of Wilkinson Center who volunteer and donate to Wilkinson Center and are passionate about the mission to transform the lives of Dallas families by providing pathways to self-sufficiency with dignity and respect.
I am honored to serve as president of the Friends of Wilkinson Center, following in the footsteps of my mom, past president of the Friends and of the Wilkinson Center Board of Directors, Melanie Myers, who is honorary chair this year with my dad Jim, as well as former Friends president and the co-founder of The Spirit of Taos, Missy Huber.
Event chair Ellen Estee represents a new generation committed to continuing to serve and support Wilkinson Center programs and clients. We are so grateful to Ellen and our entire committee for their tireless work to ensure that this year’s event is a success.
So trade your tuxes and stilettos for boots and casual attire for what promises to be a sell-out event once again. Sponsorships from $750 to $10,000 and tables of eight for $2,000, $4,000 and $8,000 are available now, as well as patron tickets at $250 each and individual tickets at $200 and raffle tickets.
