Despite MySweetCharity’s “Doesn’t-Fit” Protocol, GoFundMe Fundraising Still Helps North Texans

Apr 4, 2022 1:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

Out of the hundreds of emails received daily by MySweetCharity, more than a large number are to support a GoFundMe effort. Alas, due to MSC’s limiting coverage to 2,000+ North Texas 501 (c) 3 non-profits, it’s just not possible to help such grassroots projects. But that’s not to say that GoFundMe undertakings aren’t worthwhile. Some are really rather gratifying in results … [Read more...] about Despite MySweetCharity’s “Doesn’t-Fit” Protocol, GoFundMe Fundraising Still Helps North Texans

CANCELED: ChildCareGroup’s 120th Anniversary Celebration

Jan 11, 2022 9:30 AM by Jeanne Prejean

It’s not every day a North Texas organization celebrates its 120th anniversary, so when the ChildCareGroup had to postponed its big anniversary event in September due to the Delta variant, fingers were crossed that the new date — Wednesday, January 12 — would work out for the celebration at the then-Belo Mansion (now Arts District Mansion). But Delta’s kissing cousin Omicron … [Read more...] about CANCELED: ChildCareGroup’s 120th Anniversary Celebration

A Passing: Lindalyn Bennett Adams

Sep 9, 2021 10:26 PM by Jeanne Prejean

"Turning lemons into lemonade” means transforming a not-so-great situation into a grand occasion. In the case of Lindalyn Bennett Adams, she turned lemons into lemon pie, with folks lining up for second helpings. If Lindalyn were to read the above description, she’d laugh that funny giggle, take a deep breath and with a twinkle in her eyes scoff at the idea that she had done … [Read more...] about A Passing: Lindalyn Bennett Adams

A Passing: Bryan Hobson Wildenthal

Sep 7, 2021 5:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

It’s not surprising when a generation carries on the family business. Perhaps it’s because daughters and sons grow up witnessing their parents’ experiences and naturally pick up on the ins-and-outs of the trade. So it was with Bryan Hobson Wildenthal. His father Bryan Wildenthal was president of Sul Ross State University in the West Texas town of Alpine from 1952 until his … [Read more...] about A Passing: Bryan Hobson Wildenthal

Closed For Now: George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum

A Passing: Mary Anne Sammons Cree

Jul 21, 2021 11:14 PM by Jeanne Prejean

In the days ahead, there will be much reported about philanthropist Mary Anne Cree's countless acts of generosity. But to treasure her legacy, it’s necessary to start back in the late 1800s, when her father Charles Addison Sammons was born in Ardmore. It was just 12 years later he found himself an orphan and moved to his aunt’s farm in Plano. It didn’t take long for the boy to … [Read more...] about A Passing: Mary Anne Sammons Cree
