Equality Texas Foundation's Programs and Outreach
Benefit from Black Tie Dinner.
Equality Texas Foundation is once again a beneficiary of the
Black Tie Dinner that supports 18 local beneficiaries and HRC,
its national beneficiary.
The support from Black Tie Dinner is instrumental in
continuing our work in North Texas with our Equality Project
trainings, Pride in Faith programs, and our collaborative work
to educate Texans about the critical importance of education and
advocacy to achieve equality in Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano,
Denton, and across the entire state.
If you attend Black Tie or know someone that does,
then you can directly impact the work of Equality Texas
Foundation as we continue to expand our outreach and
make equality happen here in Texas!
Simply, being a table captain for Equality Texas
Foundation or designating your table and its seats
means that your locally designated funds will support
our mission directly. We could not continue to do our work
without your support and the support of Black Tie Dinner.
Thank you for being a table captain. Please let us know
if you intend to intend to be a table captain for us or if you
intend to designate your seats to Equality Texas Foundation - HERE.

Black Tie Dinner Table Selection Moves Online June
15, 2009 as new process implemented.
The 2009 Online TABLE CAPTAIN
Process launches Monday, June 15, at 10:00 am.
Table Captains register by creating a log-in account and either
they, or their guests, can make payment for their seats or the
full table through the secure online system.
As in the past, the number of Table Captain tables
is subject to availability. The key difference this year is that
Table Captain table selection is based on the table payment
completion date*; and as in prior years, after Sponsor table
selection. Table Captains are encouraged to register and
organize their tables quickly to obtain the best table selection
position available.
