Sounds of the Season: A Gala Benefitting the Dallas Hearing Foundation
Dallas, TX
After a year of hard work, the Sounds of the Season gala finally arrived, and it was well worth the wait! Guests were astonished by the beauty of the venue as they entered a virtual winter wonderland right in the heart of Dallas. Classical ballet performances from The Nutcracker kicked off the evening, as guests enjoyed the delicious food that was served by Wolfgang Puck Catering. Significant Events personalized the event by naming each table after a DHF patient rather than just assigning standard table numbers. At each guest’s seat was a beautiful black and white portrait of their table’s namesake with their testimonial on the back of the photo. After moving videos and speeches from DHF recipients, there wasn’t a dry eye left in the house, and the presenters received numerous standing ovations! Guests showed their support for the foundation by shopping the silent auction and making individual donations. As they left for the evening, guests received music CD’s in their cars which contained a thank you from the DHF president and played classic sounds of the holiday season. In the end we raised thousands of dollars for a worthy cause and put the Dallas Hearing Foundation “on the map” in the philanthropic world for years to come. Significant Events is so proud to have been such a large part of this event!

Dallas Hearing Foundation’s Sounds of the Season Gala Kick-Off Party
Dallas, TX
Significant Events is proud to be working with the Dallas Hearing Foundation to produce their first annual fundraising gala on December 19th, 2009 at Union Station in Dallas. The DHF has provided cochlear implants, hearing aids, auditory-verbal therapy, and educational support with over $1 million in services since 1997. In order to kick off the major fundraising push for the gala and to educate the public about the Foundation, the DHF hosted a Gala Kick-Off Party at Marc Events. Generous vendors provided delicious food and drink, beautiful lighting and décor, and informative displays. To learn more about the Sounds of the Season gala, visit www.soundsoftheseason.org.
