On February 2, 2017, we held our annual Parada of Stars Awards Gala in Frisco, Texas. The event kicked-off with a cocktail and networking hour, followed by dinner, a live auction, and awards. At the end of the night, guests enjoyed dancing at the after-party. Thank you to all of our sponsors who made the evening possible.

Congratulations to all of our 2017 award winners!
