If you’ve not yet purchased your ticket or table, don’t wait much longer, as the 26th annual TMAF gala is headed to be a sell-out. You don’t want to miss this retro state fair themed-event that will evoke memories of when the Texas fair was an escape from hard times through fun games, chivalrous contests and theatrical eccentricity. Attire will be vintage 1930s and ’40s (optional) or business casual.
BIG & BRIGHT! Will be held during TMA’s TexMed on Friday, May 17, during TexMed 2019 at the Hilton Anatole Dallas. Reserve your spot by purchasing a general ticket ($250), a VIP ticket ($300 including a VIP reception and extra recognition) or becoming an individual sponsor of a table of 8 ($2,200 with additional benefits). Corporate sponsorships are available at various recognition levels ranging from $3,000 for a table of eight to $50,000 for the exclusive presenting sponsorship. Prices increase after April 30 so don’t wait!
Current top sponsors are H-E-B, Drs. Nick and Leena Shroff, Pfizer and Texas Medical Liability Trust among other corporate and individual supporters.
