Around North Texas, the name “Linze Serrell” is nearly synonymous with “fundraising for a cause.” And on Sunday, Oct. 23, Linze’s work for the LGBTQ and HIV/AIDS communities continues with “Linze’s Big Gay Birthday Bash,” a show at Six Springs Tavern, 147 N. Plano Road in Richardson, to benefit Prism Health North Texas. Doors open at 1 p.m., and the show starts at 2 p.m., featuring emcee Korina DuValle, Miss Gay Texas State 2023 Kelly O’Neil, Miss Gay Texas State At Large 2023 Veronica Reyes, Dahlia, Robyn, Jayden, Sienna, Carmella, Sapphire, Marina, Aquarius, March and special guest Little Miss Birdie. Happy birthday sweet Linze, and thank you for all you do.
