Dallas, Texas – The fun has already begun for honorary chairs Mary and Mike Terry and event co-chairs Muffin and John Lemak and Susan and Gene Palma, hosts of Cristo Rey Dallas’ second Grow the Grove event, happening on Friday, November 17, 2017 at 7 p.m.
Following last year’s sell-out event, Grow the Grove will take place at the venue sixty five hundred, located at 6500 Cedar Springs Road. The denim to dresses event will include a chef-prepared meal, fine wine, a spirited signature cocktail, live auction and more.
Proceeds from Grow the Grove will benefit Cristo Rey Dallas, an innovative high school located in Pleasant Grove that offers students who would otherwise not consider private school a rigorous college prep education paired with a valuable work study program.
“The important work happening at Cristo Rey Dallas is making a positive impact on the lives of hundreds of dedicated high school students and their families, as well as the Dallas community as whole through the school’s Corporate Work Study Program,” says Muffin Lemak.
“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to celebrate the great success of Cristo Rey Dallas,” says Susan Palma. “Grow to Grove will be a night of great fun that supports an even greater initiative—preparing hardworking students to go to and through college.”
