JUST IN: 2025 ReuNight Is Going “Clubbing” And Bidding For The Family Place At Brook Hollow Golf Club

Locals will tell you great stories about The Family Place‘s Palm Night fundraiser. It was held at The Palm in the rocking and rolling West End. A young Al Biernat was the man-in-charge of the see-and-be-seen steakhouse. Even today people roll their eyes recalling the event, remembering how the live auction had bidders going well beyond the value to score a prize. According to the late Dallas Morning News columnist Alan Peppard, “It quickly became the second-largest fundraiser per capita in Dallas. In 1997, with just 200 guests, it netted $337,000.”

Even after Al left the restaurant to open his own eatery on Oak Lawn, Palm Night continued until The Palm ended its run in 2017.

But Palm Night didn’t die. Rather, like the mythological phoenix, it disappeared only to be resurrected at the Place on Perry in 2013 with a new moniker — ReuNight. And even when PoP ceased, ReuNight continued on “raising critical support and resources for survivors of family violence, empowering them to rebuild their lives” at various venues (restaurants, hotels, luxury stores, the Nasher Sculpture Center, the Petroleum Club and Haas Moto Museum).

2025 ReuNight Co-Chairs Jess and Tyler Bolander and Melissa and Jamie Keeling have just revealed that the fundraiser will be “clubbing” this year. To be exact, at Brook Hollow Golf Club on Thursday, May 15, with the theme “Couture In Bloom.”

As for the live auction packages, entertainment and other details, organizers are promising that news is still to come.

But the emphasis will remain as always on The Family Place’s “evening dedicated to raising critical support and resources for survivors of family violence, empowering them to rebuild their lives.”

Stay tuned for when the auction plans and entertainer are revealed.
