To borrow the oldest pun in the checkbook, philanthropic events are putting the “fun” in “fundraising” around Fort Worth this fall.
With themes like “Disco Cowboy” (Cowtown Ball), “Rewind to the ’90s” (Behind the Mask), “Ignite the Magic” (Margarita Ball), “Up, Up and Away” (A Cool Night for the WARM Place), and “Out of this World,” (Monster Mash), who wouldn’t want to RSVP to every gala and soiree this season?
