DON OR D ONO IIMPA MP A C T UP DATE UPD 2026
Gathered at the National Medal of Honor Museum, donors, leaders, and friends celebrated a legacy of service and the collective impact shaping the future of brain health.
Legacy in Action: Honoring Sarah and Ross Perot, Jr. The 2026 BrainHealth Legacy Award Dinner was a remarkable evening refecting the leadership of Sarah and Ross Perot, Jr. and the strength of a donor community deeply committed to advancing brain health.
Through their generosity and leadership, Sarah and Ross have helped build something enduring at Center for BrainHealth – an impact measured not only in progress made, but in possibility created for the future.
Debbie and Jim Francis served as Dinner Chairs and former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert was Honorary Chair. Their partnership helped convene an extraordinary group of patrons and partners whose generosity made the evening very impactful.
Held at the National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington on Feb. 25, the gathering brought together longtime supporters, civic and business leaders and friends of the center for an evening grounded in gratitude, purpose and shared momentum.
In presenting the award, Dr. Sandi Chapman refected on the collective leadership represented in the room: “Sarah and Ross lift people up. They are uniters, they are visionaries and their partnership strengthens our work beyond measure.”
The Perots’ philanthropy and advocacy has been foundational to Center for BrainHealth – helping shape our growth, strengthen our science, and extend our reach across generations. The evening was a wonderful opportunity to bestow our deep appreciation for their partnership. - Debbie Francis
