A venerable roster of honorees and their grateful supporters filled the Dallas Ballroom at the Omni hotel for the Texas Trailblazer Awards Luncheon, with proceeds benefiting The Family Place. Chaired by Anh and Loc Trieu, Amanda and Lloyd Ward and honorary chairs Diane and Daryl Johnston, the sold-out affair recognized the service of Kenneth Cooper, Lynn Goldstein, Kathryn Hall, Liz Minyard, Verizon and students Renee Kim and Elaine Landi. A rousing, inspirational message by Don McPherson, retired football pro turned gender advocate and motivational speaker, brought guests to their feet. Photography by Jeremy Brown and Sunny Lohden
