| CDF-Texas
has expanded its annual Beat the Odds scholarship awards
program to Dallas. The celebration will honor extraordinary
high school seniors who have overcome tremendous adversity to
succeed in school and in life.
The Awards Luncheon
will take place on April 14th, 2010, from 11:30
a.m. to 1:00 p.m at the Tower Club at Thanksgiving Tower.
In addition, a VIP Scholarship Reception will
be held on April 13th, 2010 from 6 p.m. to
8 p.m. at the O'Brien residence.
The luncheon is being hosted by
Pat and Emmitt Smith, as part of their commitment
to encouraging students to work hard in and out of the classroom,
celebrating their determination and achievement, and drawing
attention to the important work of the Children’s Defense
Fund. And the event is being chaired by Sarah Palisi
Chapin.
The event will honor and award
scholarships to three
Dallas-area students and serve to build a foundation for
further CDF efforts in Dallas.
