Saint Valentine's Day Luncheon
and Fashion Show®
Presented by Stanley Korshak
Benefiting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
The Saint Valentine's Day Luncheon & Fashion Show®
is one of the leading fundraising events for North Texas Chapter
and one of the top fundraising galas for the Society nationwide.
Now in its 23rd year, the 2008 Luncheon is expected to raise
more than $500,000, adding to nearly $6 million generated
over the past two decades. Funds are raised not only through
table and ticket sales but also through a raffle of high-end
items retailing anywhere from $500 to $10,000.
WHEN
& WHERE: February
6, 2008
Adam's Mark Hotel
400 Olive St
Dallas, TX 75201
WHO: Janet Nylund and Lillie Young, co-chairs
ATTENDEES: The Luncheon draws an audience of more than 1200 social and
civic leaders from Dallas, Fort Worth, and the entire North
Texas region. This "must-attend" event is popular
not only in the social community but also with members of the
area's fashion industry, as it is the first runway show of the
new season on the calendar each year. Designers in attendance
have included Bill Blass, Christian Louboutin, Mark Badgley
& James Mischka, Loree Rodkin, and most recently Rodarte.
Local "stars" who have walked the runway include Angie
Harmon, Janine Turner, and members of the Dallas Cowboys, Dallas
Mavericks, and the Dallas Stars. Local media celebrities have
also participated in our shows, and the Luncheon receives extensive
coverage in print and on air.
HOW: Thanks
to the generosity of our presenting sponsor, Dallas' premier
specialty store Stanley Korshak, the fashion show directed by
Jan Strimple, professional model and experienced producer, is
a full runway production comparable to any major fashion event.
The positive energy generated throughout the community by this
event has been key to 20+ years of successful fundraising for
the North Texas Chapter of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
AWARDS
& WHY: The mission of the Society is also integral to the event. Mission
driven awards are presented at the Luncheon including The Spirit
of Tom Landry Character Award and The Heart of Gold Award.
The Spirit of Tom Landry Character Award recognizes a youth with courage, integrity, dignity and
dauntless spirit who has battled blood cancer through personal
experience or who has volunteered extensively on behalf of others
who suffer from blood cancer. We are honored each year to have
Mrs. Tom Landry, a beloved figure in Dallas, make this award
presentation. The cause is close to her heart, as she lost her
husband to leukemia.
The Heart of Gold Award recognizes
an adult individual or couple with a "heart of gold",
known for working tirelessly to help find a cure for leukemia,
lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma and to improve the quality
of life for patients and their families.
The Saint Valentine's Day Luncheon &
Fashion Show is always an upbeat, glittering affair enjoyed
by everyone in attendance, but we try never to lose sight of
our very serious mission.
Tickets
and Sponsorships: Open to the public by reservation only.
Underwriting levels begin at $1,500 up to $50,000.
Individual tickets are available. Please see attached contract.
