Just got around to posting some of the pictures from the 2011 Spring Gala at Brookhaven Country Club. There are a lot more to post but I have to figure out where to put them. They’ll probably pop up here and there like the one in this post.

Baylor Medical Center of Garland

rkc — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 17:53:54 +0000

Baylor Medical Center of Garland has been a generous supporter of the Achievement Center of Texas for 18 years. They have contributed printing services and have made financial contributions which have been essential to client programs and the gala.

Individual physicians from Baylor have also joined in to support ACT on their own, recognizing the need for this type of support in the Garland community.

Benchmark Mortgage

rkc — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 17:29:02 +0000

Thanks to Benchmark Mortgage and for their continued support.

For the past 4 years Benchmark has been a primary sponsor of the Achievement Center of Texas. The Benchmark Loving Cup which was started by Benchmark 3 years ago has provided assistance to families with limited financial resources whose loved one might not otherwise be able to participate in the program.

They have always been there to help us make the Annual Gala a huge success!

Pre-Gala Raffle

rkc — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 02:27:52 +0000

The pre-gala raffle is set to begin this week so contact Teresa at the center to get your tickets. The pre-gala raffle signals the beginning of the event which means it’s time to get our hands dirty and put this thing together.

If you have items to donate for the auction, please call Linda at (972) 516-9611. We always need gift cards for the auction. This year we will also be giving away gift cards in raffle drawings throughout the evening.

We have lots of activities and will have a small casino. We will post more information as soon as it is available.

Do You Have Auction Items To Contribute?

rkc — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 17:45:49 +0000

It’s that time of year again! As soon as the holidays are over, we begin putting together the gala silent auction. As anyone who has ever put together a silent auction knows, it doesn’t happen overnight. Some organizations have a large pool of volunteers but we do not so if you have some time to give, we can also use you.

Baskets

We usually have a lot of great baskets in our auction. We get a lot of small items and someone has to create a value for those items. This value is created by volunteers who create great baskets from all of the donated goods. We can always use larger woven baskets, even new plastic baskets can be used to create great baby or what we call “Grandma Baskets” which have all kinds of items for kids and Grandma’s really like them to give to their grandchildren or give as gifts.

High-End Items

We also have a selection of high-end collectible and autographed items. If you collect sports, music or miscellaneous memorabilia, you should consider attending our event.

What a great way to support ACT, a very worthy non-profit agency providing day care services for disabled individuals.
