Opening Doors Dinner 2018

Set against a lovely backdrop on a picture-perfect Texas evening, the 11th Annual Opening Doors Dinner & Silent Auction was a memorable and successful fundraiser.

The event, hosted by MHMR Visions, brought out a who’s who from throughout the area to raise funds for My Health My Resources (MHMR) of Tarrant County. The fundraiser, held on April 19, 2018 at Joe T. Garcia’s Restaurant in Fort Worth, helped to raise over $100,000 to support behavioral health and substance use programs, Early Childhood Services (ECS), veterans, and people living with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout North Texas.

Complete with a feast of Mexican cuisine, a silent auction, several raffles, and live music, this year’s fundraiser hosted over 300 guests and was underwritten with the support of dozens of sponsors and supporters, including presenting sponsor TowerMedic Pharmacy. The featured speaker of the evening, Jayme Magallon, who was joined by her husband, Brandon, and their children, spoke about the influence and importance of ECS services and the impact MHMR staff members have had on the lives of her children.

Plans are already in the works for the 12th Annual Opening Doors Dinner & Silent Auction for 2019. For more information about MHMR Visions and upcoming fundraisers, please log onto www.mhmrvisions.org.
