Just the week before Thanksgiving, the 2021 Crystal Charity Ball members were tallying up the results of their year-long work to raise $5,391,091 for Dallas children’s non-profits (Baylor Scott And White Dallas Foundation, Cafe Momentum, Dallas CASA, Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center, Dallas Symphony Association Inc., Network of Community Ministries, Phoenix House of Texas Inc. and Texas Scottish Rite Hospital of Dallas). To recognize the efforts, a “Wrap Up Luncheon” was held on Tuesday, November 16, at Salum.
In keeping with 2021 CCB Chair Leslie Diers’ Beatles working theme, retro John Lennon round-tinted eyeglasses were set out at each place.
Before the three-course meal (Salum House Salad, Coq au Vin or homemade pumpkin ravioli and bourbon bread pudding or apple and berry crumble) was served, Leslie and her committee chairs (Underwriting Chair Cheryl Joyner, Children’s Book Chair Kim Quinn, Silent Auction/Special Gifts Co-Chairs Susan Glassmoyer and Anne McPherson and Foundations Chair Mary Martha Pickens) announced the following top producers, with each receiving a charm especially created by Lyles DeGrazier’s Scott Polk.
