Last night was one for the books! We had the privilege of gathering with an incredible group of supporters, donors, board members, and Founders Council members for a private reception hosted by the generous Jim and Madeline McClure.

Executive Director Sharon Carson, Board Chair Jennifer Howell, and Nancy Pollard, Executive Director of Friends of the Children – Texas, shared the story of this organization, where it came from, what makes it different, and why Dallas is the right place to grow it. The energy in the room was something special.

And this isn't just a vision anymore. We are already walking alongside youth in our community, with more children joining us very soon. The work is happening right here in Dallas, and it was meaningful to celebrate that milestone with the people who helped make it possible.

To everyone who joined us last night, thank you. And a heartfelt thank you to Jim and Madeline McClure for opening their home and setting the perfect stage for this moment.

The best is yet to come.
