The White Rock Lake Foundation serves as a unified advocacy group working closely and effectively with the Dallas Park and Recreation Department (DPARD).  The Foundation works with DPARD on long-term planning and design, and spearheads private fundraising efforts.  When concepting a new type of event, The White Rock Lake Foundation board wanted to highlight and support the community that they work so hard to preserve, so it only made sense to work with talented chefs from various East Dallas neighborhoods and host the gala at The Granada Theater, historic live music venue and event space.

“We are so grateful for our board who are planning a fabulous fundraiser,” said Susan Falvo, board member of The White Rock Lake Foundation.” “We are looking forward to enjoying this unforgettable evening and meeting so many new friends who are helping continue our work for maintaining and improving our White Rock Lake, said board president Joe Kidwell”.

The event will begin with a VIP Sponsor cocktail hour from 6pm to 7pm followed by the main event from 7pm to 10pm. 

Sponsorships for the event begin at $1,500 and are named after various locations and historic buildings at White Rock Lake. VIP tickets are available for $250. Individual tickets are $110 in honor of The White Rock Lake 110-year anniversary. Guest count is limited, so get your tickets early.
