Hope’s Door “Celebrate Hope” 25th Anniversary Gala Will Feature Celebrity Chef Blythe Beck and a “Money Can’t Buy” Rangers Tailgate Auction Package

Hope’s Door, a charitable organization that has supported North Texas families impacted by domestic violence for more than 25 years, is commemorating its anniversary and celebrating survivors on Saturday, October 22. The event, “Reach for the Stars, Celebrate Hope,” is presented by Rent-A-Center and will take place at the famous Frontiers of Flight Museum at Dallas’ Love Field.

Founded in 1986, the mission of Hope’s Door is to break the cycle of family violence by offering intervention and prevention services to families. In addition, Hope’s Door continues to provide the only domestic violence shelter in Collin County.

The anniversary event also coincides with National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, which is recognized throughout the country during October. All month long, Hope’s Door will make a special effort to raise awareness and funds to support its mission and distribute its signature purple wrist bands throughout North Texas.

“As a survivor of domestic violence, I know first-hand how critical Hope’s Door is to our community,” said Lisa Vincelli, chair of the board of directors for Hope’s Door. “The funds generated by this event enable us to provide temporary housing, counseling and other services to our clients. It is also an opportunity to educate people about family violence and a meaningful way to celebrate those who have survived and honor those who have not.”

Event chair Caonha Tran-Dillon added: “We are honored to have so many wonderful partner businesses on board as our event sponsors. Their generosity means that we can raise even more money to help save and change lives.”

In addition to Presenting Sponsor Rent-A-Center and Shooting Star Sponsors Denbury Resources and Malouf Jewelers, “Reach for the Stars, Celebrate Hope” will feature small plates from Nick & Sam’s Grill, Cru, State & Allen Lounge, Howard Wang’s China Grill, El Fenix, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Mad Hatter, Pinkberry and others. Celebrity Chef Blythe Beck also will serve as honorary chef. Cocktail fans will also enjoy a specially created “Purple Hope” Grey Goose cocktail for the event and Dewars 12 will host a VIP Cigar Lounge.

The event will feature music by Plush and a stellar live auction that includes a handful of “Money Can’t Buy” packages like a Rangers Tailgate for 20 friends with Chef Blythe Beck, a Latin Mojito Party for 100 sponsored by Bacardi, and a dream African Safari. In addition, hundreds of silent auction items at a variety of suggested price points will be available for bidding.

Event sponsorship opportunities for the “Reach for the Stars, Celebrate Hope” special event are still available. For more information about Hope’s Door or to purchase event tickets, please visit www.hopesdoorinc.org.
