We are humbled and grateful to announce that this year’s Turn It Gold Gala raised $665,000! This is our highest total yet and we are thrilled to be able to support important childhood cancer research with these dollars. The night was overwhelming as we honored the bravery of Landon Allen, Charlotte Blazei, and Tess Dains. We honored the bold stance Texas A&M Baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle has taken to stand up for children fighting cancer. Finally, we honored the precious life of Kallie Dickens, healed in Heaven and taken way too soon. There were so many God inspired moments in this evening and we are just grateful to have so many supportive and generous people involved. This night would have never been possible without our gala chair team of amazingly gifted women - Cathy Blundell, LaJeana Hardig, Katherine Gring, Jeannette Muecke, Joslyn Paris, and the many wonderful people that supported them. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the success of this event! 💛 Angela and Michelle (fb)
