2020 Crystal Charity Ball Chair Tucker Enthoven and her committee have set a mighty high goal for this year’s fundraising for eight Dallas County children’s nonprofits — a record-breaking $7,870,000! It’s exactly $1M more than last year’s goal.

According to Tucker, “The active members of the 2020 Crystal Charity Ball Committee, after extensive research, have selected eight outstanding beneficiaries for this year’s fund-raising campaign. Their collective need is a record $7.8 million. I am honored and enthusiastic to begin this process.”

Following the final presentation by applicants at Communities Foundation of Texas late last week, the 2020 beneficiaries will include the following:
