The 44th annual Black Tie Dinner, held at the downtown Sheraton Dallas in November, included the annual car raffle to raise money and awareness of North Texas LGBTQ+ organizations and community.
The raffle was sponsored by Park Place Dealerships. Richard Espinosa was announced as the winner who had a choice of a luxury vehicle from Park Place Motorcars Dallas, Park Place Volvo or Park Place Porsche.
In February, he selected a Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV.
Park Place Dealerships has partnered with Black Tie Dinner for 17 years, helping advance its mission to create a community where all LGBTQ+ individuals’ lives are improved, accepted and recognized.
And Park Place will again offer this vehicle raffle at the 2026 Black Tie Dinner, scheduled for Nov. 14, 2026 at the Sheraton Dallas.
