Each fall KidneyTexas, Inc. hosts its Annual Luncheon and Fashion Show in an effort to raise money for designated beneficiaries and awareness for a disease that affects millions of people each year. The success of this event depends heavily upon the contributions and dedication of our Dallas business and community leaders, and we’re asking for your support. Coverage of this premier event has appeared in the Dallas Morning News, D Magazine, CBS 11, Modern Luxury Magazine, Paper City and Park Cities People newspapers, etc.!
The 2010 Luncheon, “The Runway Report, Celebrating 10 Years of Giving With Style”, will be held at the Hilton Anatole – Chantilly Ballroom on Wednesday, September 8th . With fashions by Stanley Korshak and production by Jan Strimple, it promises to be another stellar event and features individual runway seating. In addition to the professional models, KidneyTexas friends and sponsors, along with kidney recipients and donors, will model.
