December 16, 2023: Christmas in the Park benefiting the SM Wright Foundation.
Honorary Chairs are Heather and Ray Washburne.

Christmas in the Park has grown from serving fewer than 200 underprivileged kids in 1998 to assisting more than 32,000 less fortunate Dallas residents in 2022. Given the current economic climate, continually rising inflation, and increasing income inequality, even more families will line up this year in hopes of receiving services from the S.M. Wright Foundation.

As Dallas’ largest holiday charity event, Christmas in the Park can meet great needs in our city — but not without corporate and individual sponsors. Together, we can raise enough funds through this year’s event to ensure that sufficient food, clothing, toys, household items and furniture are available to those who need them most.
