‘Under the Big Top’ Red Tie Gala was a great success

The Red Tie Gala truly was the greatest show – all thanks to our supporters! We loved seeing everyone in their best circus-themed attire – from Ringmasters to snake tamers to circus performers. Many danced the night away until it was closing time to the wonderful Signed Sealed Delivered live band. And special congratulations to all the silent and live auction winners!

The gala raised over $275,000 this year. That ripple effect reaches far and wide! These contributions ensure North Texans with cancer, and their families, have access to mental health and social support services at no cost. Together, we take the scary out of cancer and help people impacted by this disease thrive.

A special thanks goes to:

  • Presenting Sponsor Woot! and CEO Kent Stewart, and all our sponsors
  • Gala co-chairs Dr. Korie Flippo and Matt Tribolet (pictured with CSCNT CEO Mirchelle Louis)
  • Thrive Award honorees Janet Moll and CSCNT Board Chair David Ashworth
  • Master of Ceremonies Cleo Greene, host of NBC Texas Today
  • Member Maya Apodaca for a meaningful mission moment
  • Volunteers who dedicated their time and talents
  • Gala attendees who gave generously
