This year’s theme was inspired by Dallas women and their true stories of thriving beyond life challenges. The event’s art show displayed portrait art featuring works by award-winning photographer, Radz Daswani.

Honorees for the evening included Ruby Bhandari, Founder of Silk Threads, Inc.; Martha Wolf, Co-Captain of Dallas United Crew Dragonboat Team; Traci Parker, Co-Founder of Lez Talk Dallas.

Over 150 ticketed guests were serenaded by Dana Harper, from NBC’s The Voice, as they shopped the silent auction, sipped signature cocktails and savored delicate french hors d'oeuvres custom-curated by the chefs of The HALL Arts Hotel. Proceeds from the soirée benefitted A Model Patient dedicated to serving women around the country who are facing breast cancer.
