Despite an extremely brisk cold front arriving earlier than planned on Thursday, February 17, the 2022 Crystal Charity Ball committee boarded a bus for a tour of its 2022 beneficiaries — The Agape Clinic, Baylor Oral Health Foundation, Behind Every Door, Educational First Steps, Family Compass, Hope Supply Co., Southwestern Medical Foundation and United To Learn.
And what a tour it was, including everything from innovative dental work for special needs youngsters, a warehouse of diapers and hygiene supplies, and a pediatric space in an East Dallas clinic to a cozy group photo on an old football field’s bleachers.
And while some of the speakers, like UT Southwestern Neonatal Neurologist Dr. Lina Chalak, Educational First Steps’ Vickie Allen, United To Learn’s Abby Williams and Family Compass’ Ona Foster, were forced to present their organizations’ stories on board the bus, the messages were clear that the need for funding was indeed for specific programs.
