According to Kappa Tablescapes Founder Louise Spence Griffeth,
“Kappa Tablescapes is a two-day charity event sponsored by the Dallas Alumnae Association of Kappa Kappa Gamma. It brings together Dallas’ finest designers, florists, and retailers who create magnificent and imaginative table decorations to help raise funds to benefit a group of non-profit agencies carefully selected each year.
“This is the 30th year and the event continues to celebrate the spirit of Kappa Kappa Gamma philanthropy and the generosity of the Dallas philanthropic community. Since its founding, Kappa Tablescapes has distributed almost $4.2 million in proceeds to more than 110 worthy beneficiaries.
“The annual event includes an elegant candlelight evening cocktail reception for guests to mingle and view the beautifully decorated tables at a local country club. On the following day our special guest, a lifestyle guru, entertaining expert or interior designer, inspires guests with a presentation at the luncheon and offers a book signing, and guests enjoy dining at the designers’ incredible table creations.
“Wes Gordon with Carolina Herrera is our featured guest speaker this year and we are so pleased that our incredibly talented trio of event chairs has assembled another sold-out event! Kudos to this triumvirate of Frances Mitchell, Elizabeth Phillips and Katherine Sundby and for their hard work!
“Since its founding, Kappa Tablescapes has distributed almost $4.2 million in proceeds to more than 110 worthy beneficiaries. This year’s very worthy beneficiaries are Aspire, Clayton Dabney Foundation, New Friends New Life, West Dallas Community and Young Women’s Preparatory Network.
“Our event would not be possible without the contribution of the support of more than 150 Kappa Dallas Alumnae Association volunteers each year, our Sponsors and Designers. A very special note of gratitude to Central Market for their continued and expanded support of Tablescapes. There are dozens of other companies and individuals who emulate Central Market’s commitment, and we are forever grateful for their partnership over the years.
“While the luncheon on Tuesday, October 15, is sold out, please consider purchasing raffle tickets or making contributions, through Tablescapes, to this year’s beneficiaries by visiting kappatablescapes.com.”
