An Ongoing Conversation For the Good Of Dallas

2021 Crystal Charity Ball Wrap Up Luncheon Revealed Top Producers With Charms And Specs

by

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.
