The second annual Denim & Diamonds DREAM BIG Gala is slated for this Saturday. The event benefits Journey to Dream, a non-profit dedicated to helping hurting teens affected by abuse, addiction, depression, pregnancy, bullying and other destructive behaviors. All proceeds from the DREAM BIG Gala will be used to build Kyle’s Place, a home for youth in crisis.
“On any given day there are several thousand homeless youth in need of help in our communities. There are very few beds (less than 200) or places for them to get the care and support they need,” said Kim Hinkle, executive director and co-founder, Journey to Dream.
”Our organization has spent the last decade working with hurting teens, serving over 75,000 students across North Texas. We are expanding our mission to build Kyle’s Place, a future home for youth in crisis, and want to involve the community in this worthy cause.”{jcomments on}
