A few EXTRA-special events, part 2

Our journey continued with a weekend of support preceded by a lovely champagne-and-hors-d'oeuvres kickoff party at the brand new Louis Vuitton flagship store at NorthPark Center. The event was hosted by Kimberly Schlegel-Whitman, Daniel Lalonde, President of Louis Vuitton North America and Patrick McCarthy, Chairman and Editorial Director of W Magazine. Our Manager of Events and Volunteers, Shelly Bell, said, "The party was really great; we had a lot of Board members and donors there who truly enjoyed it. Everyone chatted about Big Thought and had a wonderful time!" Part of the proceeds from the full weekend's sales are being donated to us so that we can continue our programs for the children and families of Dallas.

Finally, self-taught Dallas artist Chris Judy and his team chose Big Thought as a beneficiary for the launch of his new set of giclee prints. The party, held at Bella Restaurant in the Uptown area, was well-attended. Patrons were energetic and excited to learn about Big Thought and see Judy's latest artwork.

We are so grateful to have been chosen to be a part of all these wonderful events. Thank you to all who appreciate our work and are inspired to help us continue making imagination a part of everyday learning. Stay tuned for more on the art exhibit in the Barneys New York windows next week!
