The Black Tie Dinner is the largest in the nation, and now has set the record for fundraising as well. The success of the last year's event was directly related to the tremendous support of the North Texas community. We want to thank the generous community and the support of our loyal sponsors and table captains. In 2008, this support resulted in a $1.19 million net distribution, the largest distribution of any gay and lesbian fundraising dinner in the nation, and brought our cumulative 27-year distribution total to almost $13 million. Interested in becoming a sponsor of the 28th Black Tie Dinner, contact Maggie McQuown 972.733.9200, ext. 8. Want to be a volunteer? Download, complete and return the 2009 Participation Form.
MISSION ... Black Tie Dinner, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that raises funds for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender supportive organizations serving North Texas through a premier event of empowerment, education, and entertainment in partnership with the community.     |
