Amy and Dr. Evan Beale, chairs of the LEAP Global Missions 2023 Gala On The Road Again, invite the community to join in the gala on Thursday, April 20, 2023 at the Dallas Country Club and learn more about the nonprofit as they share news of past and ongoing mission trips, including their most recent trip to Ukraine, awards, recognitions, updates on future plans. The evening will feature cocktails and hors d’oeuvres followed by a three-course seated dinner. Linda Hardison is honorary chair.
LEAP is dedicated to enhancing and enriching the lives of people around the world by providing free specialized medical and surgical services inspired by the love of Christ.
Founded over 30 years ago by Dr. Craig Hobar, LEAP Global Missions volunteers have performed close to 10,000 surgeries on patients (mostly children) from 24 countries. LEAP is committed to developing long-term relationships with our patients, their communities, and other partners involved in our missions. By returning to the same countries, we are able to build trust, offer ongoing education, and continue caring for those who need long-term medical services.
Despite pandemic related challenges and travel restrictions, LEAP has continued to adapt and has found ways to keep serving those in need. For example, in Zimbabwe, LEAP funded clinics for local medical professionals to perform craniofacial surgeries; in India, a lifesaving oxygen generator was purchased; and in Belize, funding has begun for a new hospital pediatric wing.
Most recently, Dr. Steve Orten and Dr. Craig Hobar traveled to Ukraine and helped perform surgery at two pediatric hospitals and a military hospital. Under the direction of Drs. Hobar, Orten, and Chris Conner, LEAP Global Missions will soon unveil a collaboration to provide ongoing surgical support and training.
Host committee includes Julie and Craig Beale; Haylie and Bert Crouch; Margaret and David Danielson; Alexis and Dr. Rich Derksen; Mary Clare Finney; Hillary and Eric Gilbert; Dr. Michael Lee; Denise and Ray Nixon; Linsey and Ryan Nixon; Tracy and Dr. Steve Orten; Michelle and Dr. Tripp Parker; Allison and Robb Parks; Lauren and Cullen Thomason; Bunny and Michael Tibbals; Adair and Clark Webb; Monica and Leland White.
