The Family Place Man of Influence Award recognizes a North Texan who is leading by example to make domestic violence a “community issue” rather than a “women’s issue.” Through his lifestyle, he is setting a standard of compassion, support and commitment that promotes healthy relationships.
The Texas Trailblazer Award recognizes a local woman who has achieved significant success despite the obstacles she has faced along the way. She is a woman who has accomplished a "first" and opened the doors of opportunity for other women. She has made significant contributions either in her community, business or profession. No matter what her accomplishments, however, she is a woman who has blazed a trail for others to follow.
This award will also be presented at the luncheon: The Family Place Youth Service Award and Scholarship recognizes a student who is an outstanding leaders in his/her high school communities. The student has participated in The Family Place Students Tackling Abusive Relationships Together (START) Program for a minimum of one year, acting as a mentor to educate peers about healthy relationships in an effort to prevent teen dating violence and sexual assault.
The Family Place Advocacy Award recognizes an organization that has played a vital role in furthering the mission of The Family Place to stop the suffering of women and children victims of family violence in North Texas. By providing generous financial and volunteer support and promoting awareness with employees, associates and peers, the Advocacy Award recipient is a strong voice speaking out for victims of family violence to improve our community’s response to their critical needs.

The Texas Trailblazer Awards Luncheon is generally comprised of corporate sponsors, table hosts, philanthropists, media, and accomplished men and women in the North Texas community.

co-chaired Palm Night 2008, benefiting The Family Place. The event was held on Thursday, November 6, 2008 at The Palm. This year's chairmen opted to turn everything upside-down, making the party more sleek and chic than ever – with a Palm Springs-themed evening!
Palm Night is one of the most successful benefits in North Texas. The evening featured a luxurious, well-edited Silent Auction, an exceptional 15 item Live Auction, and The Palm’s divine steak and lobster dinner. This exclusive event raised more than $350,000. To celebrate the 15th anniversary of Palm Night and the 30th anniversary of The Family Place, Palm Night honored the Dedman Family - Nancy, Rachael and Bob, Patty and Bobby, and presented the Angel Award to Leah and John Davis, and the Anniversary Angel Award to Tommy Guilds.
