The 2022 Parade of Stars Awards Gala was held at the Renaissance Dallas Addison on February 25th. This action packed evening featured a cocktail reception, silent and live auction, seated dinner and awards presentation, and ended with a fabulous after party on the dance floor! The heads-or-tails fundraiser game returned with a $5000 grand prize from the Container Store, along with Bling Boxes provided by JCPenney, and a gift card grab that sold out before dinner.
The Parade of Stars Awards Gala is an opportunity for the Women's Business Council - Southwest to recognize Women Business Enterprise (WBE) and Corporate (Sustaining) Members that have gone above and beyond to support women-owned businesses and promote supplier diversity initiatives. We want to give a huge congratulations to this year’s winners, and a thank you to our sponsors, staff, and all attendees for contributing to a successful event!
