CISDR 2012 Gala

Communities In Schools Dallas Region (CISDR) is rounding up partners for its annual Kids Come First Gala on Saturday, May 5, 2012 at Eddie Deen’s Ranch on 944 South Lamar in Downtown Dallas. Dallas natives, Chris Turner and Cece Turner, Gala Co-Chairs, are a mother daughter team committed to education and ensuring that all children have the opportunity to succeed in school.

 This year's "Kids Come First" Gala Partners’ Roundup is sure to impress with its live and silent auctions, western style buffet, music from the Mars Hill Band and mechanical calf roping – all for a down right honorable cause.

One Man Dallas is a fun, social, and professional event that identifies the one man in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex area who represents the best of Dallas from the perspectives of community involvement, personality, intelligence, and fitness.

Each of the 21 men has created a volunteer opportunity that benefits his affiliated charity and you are invited to participate.

Communities In Schools Dallas Region Student Stories

Rene
 
Rene is a fourth grade student who receives academic support and attends extra tutoring at Ketchup Saturdays. Hear what he has to say about CIS: “If I need help with a subject they'll help me pass my test. We play games and work on math, reading and writing.”
 
CIS impresses the need to stay in school and set a goal of obtaining a college education for students even at the elementary level. It’s never too early to get students excited about their education. As Rene says, “going to school is important so you can learn and go to college.”
