Connections Homes has announced its annual Texas Chic Gala, “Boots, Hats & Bling,” taking place on Sunday, November 19th, at Chicken & Pickle in Grand Prairie, TX.. This highly anticipated event will bring together community leaders, supporters, and families for a night of glamor, entertainment, and heartfelt support for youth who have aged out of foster care and are in need of family connections and guidance.
The “Boots, Hats & Bling” fundraiser is more than just a celebration; it’s an opportunity to raise critical funds to provide much-needed resources, mentorship, and housing support for young adults who are seeking a place to call home. By combining fun and philanthropy, Connections Homes aims to continue its mission of creating a community of support and belonging for young people who need it the most.
Event Highlights:
• Networking & Games: Guests will enjoy networking, music, Pickleball, Shuffleboard, Corn Hole and a 360 Photobooth and have the chance to hit the pickle ball court in their best Texas chic attire—cowboy boots, hats, and plenty of bling encouraged!
