Toast To Life Gala

The Toast To Life Gala, held at Fashion Industry Gallery in Downtown Dallas was an event attended by over 800 people. Since it began in 1999, this event has raised over $2,100,000. Many of Dallas’ most prominent chefs showed up to cook up their “latest culinary creations” .

Additionally there was a huge silent auction as well as a live auction at the end of the evening. All of the proceeds went to benefit the Resource Center Dallas. RCD provides critical assistance to individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS. They serve 12 counties across North Texas and provide services. They also offer many community programs including:

Health Insurance Premium and Co-Pay Assistance, Oral Health Care, Nutrition Programs, an HIV/AIDS Helpline, treatment education, and other services designed to empower and support community members living with HIV/AIDS. I sold raffle tickets for a trip for two to New York City and I had a great time talking to the attendees about my platform as well as the Miss Texas Pageant this July and all that I will have to do to prepare.
