Dallas fundraising is less than two months into the 2017 marathon for local nonprofits and there’s already a major collision in sight. It takes place on Wednesday, March 8. Despite Monday, March 6, and Thursday, March 7, being pretty vacant of noontime goings-on, three groups honed in on that Wednesday for their luncheon moneymakers.
And to make matters worse, two of ‘em are taking place at the same venue. Here’s the rundown:
- The 88th Annual Linz Award Luncheon benefiting the Junior League of Dallas, expecting 650+ and honoring Lyda Hill at the Omni Dallas starting at 11:30 a.m.
- Virginia Chandler Dykes Leadership Award Luncheon honoring Dr. Steve Mansfield at Belo Mansion expecting 400 and starting at 11:15
- 2017 Dallas Planned Parenthood Annual Awards Luncheon featuring Marcia Clark at the Omni Dallas expecting 2,000 and starting at 12:30 p.m.
Now, if you’re swift of feet and have plenty of buying power, you might try to hit all three. On the other hand, it’s too bad that the three couldn’t have been spread through the week, so a Solomon-like choice will have to be made.
