Blossoms in the Dust is a unique luncheon and style show featuring Gladney parents strutting down the runway, hand-in-hand with their beautiful children. This fun and exciting luncheon will be held at the Renaissance Worthington Hotel Ballroom on Tuesday, April 5, 2011.
Paige McCoy Smith, The Not So Perfect Parent from WFAA's Good Morning Texas, will serve as the Master of Ceremonies for the event. Frank Garrott, President of the Gladney Center, says, "This is an amazing event that celebrates children and families. The Gladney Center is so thankful for our Gladney Family Associations; we could not accomplish our mission without these wonderful volunteers. They are the agency's hands, voice and heart and they help make Gladney's mission come true for children all around the world."
This event is hosted by The Greater Fort Worth Gladney Family Association. This hard-working association is comprised of volunteer adoptive families who band together to help raise adoption awareness, participate in fundraising events that support adoption programs and humanitarian aid, while providing support and fellowship to other families who experience the miracle of adoption. Carol Perry, Gladney adoptive parent and longtime GFA member, will be presented the prestigious Leslie Amend Award for her dedication and passionate service to the Fort Worth GFA.
The Bazaar begins at 9:30 am with luncheon seating at 11:15 am. The event is open to the public and tickets are available by contacting Nonya.Jordan@gladney.org. Proceeds benefit the Gladney Center for Adoption.
