Mar 7, 2022 5:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

The Dallas Symphony Orchestra League organizers’ timing had waltzed around the pandemic. In 2020 the Presentation Ball’s final deb had scarcely taken her bow on the Meyerson stage when the pandemic more or less shut down major in-person fundraising.

But this year, … [Read more...] about 2022 Dallas Symphony Orchestra League’s 48 Debs Bowed In A Return To Elegant Fundraising

Feb 9, 2022 11:30 AM by Jeanne Prejean

A couple of weeks after the Crystal Charity Ball, the outgoing chair usually holds a tea to thank the committee and staff for their support. But 2021 CCB Chair Leslie Diers’ tea seemed to be more of an after-party for her Peace Love London theme gala. It was obvious that the whimsy factor was in place before guests like Ola Fojtasek, Lisa Cooley, … [Read more...] about 2021 Crystal Charity Ball Chair Leslie Diers’ Tea Was A Continuation Of Peace, Love, London

Jan 20, 2022 3:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

When the 2020 Crystal Charity Ball’s “Majestic Britannia” had to be canceled due to COVID three months out, 2021 CCB Chair Leslie Diers did the pandemic pivot. With her love of music, and realizing that event producer Tom Addis had already started focusing on across the pond, she decided to keep the British feel but with a bit of Carnaby Street added in. The result was “Peace, … [Read more...] about 2021 Crystal Charity Ball Brought “Peace, Love, London” Across The Pond For Dallas Children Charities

Oct 25, 2021 5:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

The 2021 Crystal Charity Ball Fashion Shows were a gamble for both CCB and Neiman Marcus NorthPark. To take over a vast part of the store for one production was challenging enough. But to hold a morning event including a reception, fashion presentation and brunch and do a repeat less than two hours later for an afternoon tea was rather daunting. And adding to the equation was … [Read more...] about 2021 Crystal Charity Ball Fashion Shows’ Pivoting Paid Off With New Format And Location

Last year it was a big move and news that the annual Crystal Charity Ball Fashion Show and Luncheon was picking up and moving north to NorthPark. But despite the best efforts of 2020 CCB Chair Tucker Enthoven and 2020 Fashion Show Chair Margaret Hancock, it wasn’t meant to be, courtesy of the stringent pandemic restrictions.
