On June 4, 2011 Communities In Schools Dallas Region (CISDR)’s 25th birthday year culminated at the Omni Mandalay Hotel at Las Colinas with the 10th Annual “Kids Come First!” Diamond Gala. Amy Turner served as Diamond Gala Chair along with Honorary Chair, Kathy Klingaman, and Honorary 25th Birthday Chair, Barbara Hunt Crow. Positioned as the year-end showcase, Turner, Klingaman and Hunt Crow were likeminded in their efforts to accomplish one primary goal with this gala – raise funds for CISDR’s one-on-one daily on-campus academic and social support services for at-risk students throughout the Dallas region. In honor of competent, yet underachieving students tirelessly served by professional CISDR staff and volunteers, more than 200 guests gathered for the black-tie event, which consisted of live and silent auctions, fine dining, dancing, and a special performance by students of Williams Preparatory School. “For the Diamond Gala, we wanted to pull out all the stops on behalf of this fabulous organization,” Turner said. “It [was] time for some bling!”
