Taste of Elegance Benefits Hendricks Foundation

April 24, 2017 I was honored to partner with Whole Foods Market for the Taste of Elegance at Southfork Ranch benefiting the Hendricks Foundation.

In a “taste of” format, guests were treated to a line up of fine dining restaurants, ranging from iconic favorites to trendy new hot spots.

The foundation helps Students who have overcome adversity, struggled to succeed despite their circumstances, and want to change the direction of their lives.

They provide financial access to a college education through multi-year college scholarships, renewable all the way to a Bachelor’s degree.

Since almost all of the students are the first in their families to ever go to college, they are unfamiliar with the culture of higher education so Hendricks Foundation provide ongoing guidance to help them navigate within the college environment.

Beating the odds, nearly 70% of the students will earn a college degree
