Open Mic

The Legacy Senior Communities’ first annual fundraising event “Victory Night at the Stadium” – held December 11 at Cowboys Stadium – raised $250,000 to benefit residents of The Legacy at Preston Hollow – Dallas Home for the Jewish Aged. The event featured a DJ, cocktails, fun, food, tours and a live auction lead by legendary American sportscaster, Brad Sham. ­

As a highlight of the auction, attendees had the chance to win the Super Bowl XLV Hospitality Ticket Package. The package included highly-coveted perks such as 2 corner seats in the 100 and 200 levels, in-stadium hospitality VIP access with a full premium menu and top-shelf open bar, NFL player appearances, $100 in-stadium Super Bowl XLV merchandise coupon, access to the NFL’s Pro Football Theme Park, express security entrances and preferred parking, and much more.

Ynette Hogue, event co-chair, said, “We had a great turnout. Guests had a wonderful time taking tours of the locker room, having their photos taken mid-field with Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, enjoying dinner, and participating in the raffle and live auction.”

“‘Victory Night’ raised $250,000,” said Susan Levy, event co-chair. “Proceeds will give The Legacy Senior Communities the ability to meet and improve the medical, spiritual, physical, cultural, and educational needs of our residents at The Legacy at Preston Hollow community.”
