Northaven Church Selected as Black Tie Dinner Beneficiary
The Only Church Among Eighteen 2006
Beneficiaries
Northaven Church learned this week that we have
been selected as a 2006 Beneficiary of the Black Tie
Dinner.
According to their website, the Black Tie Dinner is "a nonprofit organization that raises funds for gay and lesbian supportive organizations serving North Texas through a premier event of empowerment, education, and entertainment in partnership with the community."
The actual dinner is held in the Fall of each year, and is attended by almost 3,000 persons. This year's dinner will be at the Adam's Mark Hotel on November 11 at 6 pm.
Many Northaven members have been involved in the planning and organization of the Black Tie Dinner since its inception 25-years-ago. But, this is the first time that Northaven has applied and been accepted as a beneficiary of the dinner's fundraising efforts.
"We are deeply honored by this recognition for Northaven Church by the Dallas gay and lesbian community," said Senior Pastor Eric Folkerth. "We know what a distinct honor this is, and we offer our sincere thanks to the community for selecting us."
We have been told that Northaven Church is the only church among the 18 beneficiaries selected for 2006. As a beneficiary, there will be many opportunities for volunteers and participants in the Black Tie Dinner, and we'll post more about these as they become available.
In 2005, the dinner distributed $1.24 million dollars, the largest distribution of any gay and lesbian fundraising Dinner in the nation, the cumulative 24-year distribution total of the Black Tie Dinner is over $9.1 million.
Thank you, Black Tie! We are honored to be a part of you and stand with you!
