The 2012 El Tesoro de la Vida Benefit Dinner directly supports our week long grief camp. El Tesoro de la Vida provides an accepting, normalizing camp experience where children, ages 6 - 17, who share the experience of the death of a loved one can cry, play, laugh, and spend time with one another.

2012 Honor Chairs are Denis Cranford, Joan Katz, Maurie Reynolds and Patsy Thomas.

Friday, November 11, 2011            Omni Fort Worth Hotel

November 11, 2011 (11.11.11) will mark the day of Camp Fire USA’s 27th Annual An Artists’ Christmas gala at the Omni Hotel in downtown Fort Worth. This year’s “once in a lifetime” event is chaired by Carrie and Allan Meyer with Honor Chairs, Linda and Drew Springer.

An evening of art and elegance will be highlighted by fine works of art generously donated by local and national artists; a silent art auction; a live auction of art and luxury packages; a seated, gourmet dinner, dancing to Professor D, and incredible raffle prizes. NEW this year will be the VIP ART Reception, preceding the gala, for VIP ticket holders!

All proceeds from An Artists’ Christmas directly benefit Camp Fire USA’s programs that prepare children to be ready to learn when they begin school, to actively develop leadership skills, to be respectful of the outdoors and the environment, to complete school, and to become more involved with their families. For 97 years First Texas Council has stayed true to these values while evolving to meet the changing needs of our community. Your support is critical to keep local youth and families active in Camp Fire’s programs, whom would otherwise not be able to afford them.

Should you have any questions, please contact Maren Gibbs, Special Events Manager, at 817-831-2111, ext. 167.
