A groovy time was had by all as we celebrated the 40th TexasFest on April 6, 2019.
Craig Boleman and Kass Prince were joined by Donna and Bob Bourgeois as co-couple-chairs for the 2019 gala. Approximately 400 people donned their bellbottoms and 1960s attire and joined us at Mercury Studios in Las Colinas to dance to the Beatles tunes of Hard Night's Day. Guests enjoyed lots of fun games and activities, including wax hand sculptures and bobble-head selfie cutouts, as they raised more than $220,000 to purchase a new surgical imaging device to help the doctors at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center-Irving better visualize good blood flow and tissue perfusion during surgeries.
Congrats to Carolyn Weinzirl for winning the highest honor given by the foundation - the Pat Carnell Award. Thank you to all the sponsors and guests who supported this year's event. We appreciate you!
