Officials with the Black Tie Dinner have announced that they are now accepting applications for nonprofit organizations who want to be beneficiaries of the 2010 dinner.
The application is available online at BlackTie.org, and there will be an optional orientation meeting for groups interested in applying on Monday, Feb. 15, beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the Seminar Room on the second level of the Sheraton Dallas hotel. The orientation meeting will include a presentation on the application process and the requirements to apply, as well as a chance for applicants and potential applicants to apply.
For more information, go to BlackTie.org, and watch this Friday’s issue of Dallas Voice.
Okay, so you have to pay $900 when selected and then are responsible for selling $17,500. While I’m sure Black Tie and friends can point all over the place to illustrate their “inclusivity” the bottom line is that being responsible for the movement of $18,400 aint no small task. It could be argued that this is a barrier of sorts to separate the “serious” from the “less responsible”, protecting the credibility and reputation of Black Tie. Fine. But are we so lackluster as to turn a blind eye to organizations who, despite brilliant work, aren’t able to buy themselves into the club?
