Park Cities, TX November 2025

Our Giving Thanks Issue

Being Thankful, in All Things...

This November issue notes the One Year Anniversary of being the owner and publisher of Park Cities Lifestyle Magazine. First of all, a huge Thank You readers, families and partners alike for embracing the issues through this past year. Thank you also sincerely for your interest and dedication to your “Park Cities”, the more than fabulous place to live and be part of the community. In looking back over these past months many life steps have taken place, and to note, the last November issue shared tribute to my father Phil Livingston as the inspiration for stepping into the publishing world. My desire to make everything come to life in each issue through the world of words and photos emerged from his example in the magazine world. In December, shortly after turning age 90, he suffered a massive stroke and life as my family knew it was drastically different. The expressive part of his brain shows “Empty” according to the x-rays, and being an artist, writer and storyteller, that is death of a different kind. He was to not ever be able to speak, write and of course not draw or paint- again. Never. So here we are, right at a year later - Daddy walks on his own most days, or with a cane when he is away from his assisted living home, he can read over books (not certain how much he sees), his handwriting is becoming more legible, and YES, he is once again drawing and painting. In his perspective it's “not as good as it should be”, and for the most part his speech is understandable - but most importantly HE IS defying the medical expectation of his daily life post-stroke. Many prayers and the loving-kindness of many caregivers and friends have embraced all of us through this journey - Huge Thanks to each and every one, and an extra special “Thanks Daddy“, so glad to be a part of your world. Undoubtedly there are many families in our Park Cities who have stories of love and loss, friendship and goodwill that they are thankful for this month, and this year. Whether your thanks wraps around family, experiences, pets, careers or those many more, my prayer is that you see blessings around each and every relationship. Let’s take time to thank those who have touched our lives and know that in-turn, you have touched theirs.

Philippians 4:6 - “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

A LEGACY of Love

MEGAN AND KEITH CONLON LEAD THE 42ND ANNUAL ST. VALENTINE’S DAY LUNCHEON AND FASHION SHOW, HONORING PERSONAL LOSS, COMMUNITY LEGACY, AND THE ONGOING FIGHT TO END BLOOD CANCER.

In a city where style and service often walk hand in hand, few events capture the spirit of both like the Saint Valentine’s Day Luncheon and Fashion Show. On Wednesday, February 4, 2026, the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center will once again set the stage for this beloved Dallas tradition—a celebration of fashion, philanthropy, and deeply personal stories that continue to make an impact on Blood Cancer United’s (formerly The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) mission.

Now in its 42nd year, the annual fundraiser unites generations of supporters, survivors, and families who gather not only for the glamour of the runway, but to fuel life-saving progress in the fight against blood cancers.

This year’s event will be chaired by Megan and Keith Conlon, two Highland Park natives whose ties to the cause run deep, and whose personal stories give this year’s event a powerful resonance.

LEGACY, LOSS, AND LEADING WITH HEART

For Megan Conlon, chairing the 2026 luncheon is more than a community honor; it’s a full-circle moment rooted in personal loss and enduring purpose. Conlon lost her mother, Linda Somerville, to leukemia when she was just 12 years old. Her passing left a profound impact on the Conlon family, shaping their long-standing support of Blood Cancer United and the luncheon itself.

“Chairing the 42nd St. Valentine’s Day Luncheon is deeply personal to both of us and such an honor,” Conlon shares. “My mom

passed away from leukemia in 1999, and with more loved ones affected by blood cancers, this cause hits close to home. Chairing this luncheon is a way to honor my mom’s memory, stand with others still in the fight, and support the incredible, life-saving work Blood Cancer United continues to do. Keith and I are grateful to serve a mission that means so much—not just to our family, but to so many others.”

The Memorial Hero Award also holds special significance for the Conlon family, as it was first introduced in honor of Somerville. Now named the Linda Somerville Memorial Hero Award, it continues to recognize those whose lives inspire the ongoing mission of Blood Cancer United. Adding another layer of connection, Somerville was also the best friend of Robyn Conlon, Keith’s mother—further intertwining the families’ histories in heartfelt symmetry.

“We are so honored to have Megan and Keith serve as chairs of our 2026 St. Valentine’s Day Luncheon and Fashion Show,” says Leah Swanson, executive director of Blood Cancer United Red River Region. “They have been unwavering in their support of our mission, and we know they will bring their enthusiasm, community relationships, leadership, and expertise to their role.”

always reflects Dallas’ signature blend of sophistication and charm. “Highland Park Village brings the best fashion reflecting the most current trends in our community,” shared an event representative.

More than a stylish afternoon, the event’s fashion show adds a vibrancy that draws new supporters each year, many of whom return annually because of the deeper meaning behind the glamour.

“The fashion show is an amazing component, but it’s the honorees, stories shared, and progress in the blood cancer space that give us hope for a world without cancer,” says the event team. Each year, the awards segment adds an emotional anchor to the day, transforming statistics into stories that linger long after the last walk down the runway.

“Chairing this luncheon is a way to honor my mom’s memory, stand with others still in the fight, and support the incredible, life-saving work Blood Cancer United (formerly The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) continues to do.”

WHERE FASHION MEETS MISSION

While Blood Cancer United’s cause takes center stage, the fashion show, featuring Spring 2026 collections, is one of the event’s most anticipated moments. From modern classics to statement pieces, the runway

A COMMUNITY LEGACY

Since its founding by Janet Evans and Rusty Duvall, the Saint Valentine’s Day Luncheon and Fashion Show has raised over $16 million, directly supporting research and patient care programs across Texas, including at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Over the past four decades, the event has become one of the most successful and enduring Blood Cancer United fundraisers in the country.

“This event is one of a kind across the country and one of the oldest events that we have,” a representative shared. “Over the last 75 years, Blood Cancer United has funded over $1.8 billion in research and supported patients to the tune of $1.5 billion.”

This year’s luncheon also marks a new chapter with the debut of the organization’s rebranded name: Blood Cancer United—a shift intended to reach more patients faster, and with a more unified voice across communities and regions. “This will be a special one with our first year under our new brand,” the representative shares. “A brand that will reach more people and give families more time with their loved ones.”

Supporters of the luncheon include Clayton and Ellen Kershaw, whose ongoing advocacy for children’s health and wellness through Kershaw’s Challenge has aligned closely with Blood Cancer United’s mission. Their presence over the years has helped elevate awareness, fundraising, and visibility. Whether through words of encouragement or behind-the-scenes generosity, the Kershaws embody the kind of hands-on philanthropy that defines this gathering.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

As the 2026 luncheon approaches, there are an abundance of ways for the community to step in and make a difference. Whether through table sponsorships, donations, auction contributions, or volunteering, every effort plays a part in changing lives.

Beyond the luncheon, Blood Cancer United continues its work year-round with initiatives like Light The Night, Big Climb, and Visionaries of the Year—events designed to engage communities, celebrate survivors, and fund new breakthroughs in cancer research and care.

As the countdown begins, the Saint Valentine’s Day Luncheon and Fashion Show promises more than an afternoon of style and storytelling—it offers a legacy of love that continues to grow. With Megan and Keith Conlon at the helm, the event’s message is clearer than ever: that behind every dollar raised and every name honored is a family, a memory, and a future worth fighting for.

FOR THE BIRDS

Park Cities Quail Coalition has raised $19.5 million to preserve and protect Texas quail.

ARTICLE BY KELSEY KOSH

Like the quail populations they raise money to preserve and protect, Park Cities Quail Coalition is small, but mighty. The group began in 2006 when founder Joe Crafton moved from Tennessee to Dallas, anxious to continue his quail hunting and

“We hope to continue to grow the attendance at its annual fundraising dinner, held in March at Southern Methodist University.”

conservation hobbies with a group of friends. “Back then, Quail Unlimited was a big national organization, kind of like Ducks Unlimited,” says Park Cities Quail Coalition Executive Director Jay Stine, “They met and decided they wanted to form a Dallas chapter, and they called it Park Cities Quail Unlimited.”

The new organization launched its first spring fundraising dinner a year later, featuring live and silent auctions at the Dallas Country Club. Funds went toward research and grants to benefit the quail population in Texas. “They raised $85,000 that night and grew from there,” says Stine. The second year, the event raised around $734,000 and presented a lifetime sportsman award to oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens, an avid quail hunter and population advocate. “We like to say it is the Heisman Trophy of quail hunting and conservation,” says Stine.

The group named the award after Pickens and has since presented it to annual recipients including Johnny Morris, the owner of Bass Pro Shops, former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Dallas Cowboys president, owner, and general manager Jerry Jones, entertainer Kevin Costner, country music star George Strait and more.

Stine, who took the organization’s helm around 2011, says leadership could see the organization’s potential impact, and they wanted to make sure it went toward Texas. “The Quail Unlimited model was that you had to send the money you raised back to South Carolina to be used on their programs, and we weren’t real fond of that,” Stine explains. The group negotiated a deal with Quail Unlimited that capped the amount donated to the parent organization. “The next year, we raised over $1 million, and they reneged

on their deal,” Stine says. The Park Cities group decided to sever its ties to Quail Unlimited, forming Park Cities Quail Coalition.

Now, Park Cities Quail Coalition has spawned 11 other chapters across Texas, collectively operating as Quail Coalition. The 12 chapters encompass 3,500 members, roughly half of which are in Dallas. Oklahoma City has become its most recent addition, the first outside of Texas. “We’ve been wanting to do Oklahoma for a while,” Stine says. And he hopes the growth will continue. “We’ve had some people reach out to us from Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.”

The parent organization has also raised more than $30 million, now roughly $3 million per year, toward quail research and preservation since 2009. “Quail used to be all over Mississippi, and Alabama, and Louisiana, and East Texas, and now they’re hardly any. It’s just a big concern of ours to try to reverse that,” Stine says of Park Cities Quail Coalition’s efforts to support Texas’ four quail species populations. Most recently, the group has been working to restore the quail populations in southeast Texas on a 6,000 acre property. “For three years in a row, they’ve brought 120 quail in from Florida and translocated them to East Texas,” Stine says.

It also recently released a medicated quail feed aimed at preventing parasitic eye worms in quail populations. “For the last 10 years, we’ve been working hard to get a medicated feed approved for quail that you can put out in your feeders on your ranch,

and quail eat it, and basically, it deworms the quail like you would deworm your dogs, or cats, or cattle,” Stine says.

Park Cities Quail Coalition worked with Dr. Ron Kendall at Texas Tech University’s Institute of Environmental and Human Health to create the feed—the first medicated feed created specifically for wild quail. “We’ve done that and gotten approved by the FDA, and it hit the market last year,” Stine says proudly. “Now, we’re doing a three-year study, because we want to prove that it can help quail population.”

Moving forward, Park Cities Quail Coalition hopes to continue growing into new chapters, wherever there is interest. It also hopes to

continue to help kids enjoy the outdoors: It supports the Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation, which teaches kids hunter safety, and Texas Brigades, which offers summer camps centered around bobwhite quail, bass fishing, deer, cattle, etc. “We want to have our kids and grandkids quail hunting 34 years from now—just to kind of keep that legacy alive, “Stine says. Finally, Park Cities Quail Coalition hopes to continue to grow the attendance at its annual fundraising dinner, held in March at Southern Methodist University. “Almost all the money we raise at the local level goes directly to our mission,” Stine says. “We want to keep that authenticity and frugalness and expand it.”

The State Fair of Texas’ Historic Role in Strengthening Community Through Education and Philanthropy

Last year, about 2.4 million people walked into Fair Park to enjoy the State Fair of Texas.

What many may not know is that it operates as an impactful nonprofit with a mission that extends far beyond the fun.

The Fair supports communities through an impressive range of charitable initiatives focused on education, economic development, and cultural enrichment.

“What makes the State Fair of Texas truly special isn’t just the memories made throughout the fairgrounds, but the impact those moments have in fueling scholarships, supporting families, and building a stronger future,” said State Fair President Mitchell Glieber.

In 2024 alone, the Fair’s Big Tex Scholarship Program contributed more than $1.3 million in new college scholarships.

It also makes significant contributions to various philanthropic causes, critical maintenance in Fair Park, and other community-centered initiatives.

A key component is a commitment to community giving, providing essential grants and sponsorships to nonprofit organizations in the South Dallas/Fair Park area.

The program enhances the capabilities of these organizations while promoting local education and economic development.

“Each year, the State Fair is estimated to generate more than $600 million in economic impact for North Texas, and just as meaningful is the way we give back directly,” said

ARTICLE BY DAVID MUSCARI

Gilbert Gerst, board chair for the State Fair of Texas. “By supporting local nonprofits and neighborhood programs, we work hand in hand with the community to open doors of opportunity and help South Dallas thrive.”

Since 2018 alone, the Big Tex Youth Livestock Auction & Scholarship Programs have awarded $21.4 million to support students across Texas through auction awards and scholarships.

Agriculture is a vital cornerstone of the Fair’s far-reaching educational efforts. The Big Tex Youth Livestock Auction is where thousands of youngsters showcase their animals in a competitive auction.

All proceeds go directly into scholarships and youth development.

In 2024, the Livestock Auction, the Fair’s seventy-sixth such event, raised more than $2 million.

“The Big Tex Youth Livestock Auction is more than a competition. It is a life-changing opportunity for young people across Texas,” said Senior VP of Agriculture & Livestock, Daryl Real.

“To see the hard work of these students recognized in a meaningful way, and to know it directly supports their education and future, is what makes this event so special.”

Since its beginning in 1992, the Big Tex Scholarship Program has awarded over $20.1 million in scholarships to more than 3,700 students around the state.

This year, the State Fair of Texas advanced its commitment to education by awarding 220 new college scholarships.

Texas nonprofits benefit from funding that supports their operational growth.

In addition to financial resources, the Fair strengthens community

involvement by partnering with organizations such as the North Texas Food Bank.

Through these collaborations, the Fair helps deliver meals, distribute free admission tickets to local students and educators, and provide teacher curriculum that links classroom learning with Fair experiences.

In addition to the Fair’s Big Tex Urban Farms program, which grows and donates fresh produce to organizations in the neighborhoods surrounding Fair Park, signature initiatives like  Feed the Need and  Ag Awareness Day have generated hundreds of thousands of pounds of canned goods for the North Texas Food Bank.

“The State Fair is about more than just a few weeks each fall – it’s about showing up for Texans all year long,” said Karissa Condoianis, senior vice president of public relations for the State Fair of Texas. “

From scholarships to strategic partnerships, the State Fair of Texas continues to invest in long-term impact, making it a celebration with a mission that lasts far beyond its annual run.

Begins with YOU A SEASON TO

The holidays have a way of calling us back to what matters most—faith, family, compassion, and the quiet but powerful act of giving. As lights go up and calendars fill, there are still many who sit in silence, carrying burdens too heavy to bear alone. But what if this season, you could be the spark that changes everything for someone else?

The founders of City Lifestyle, through their private foundation, are once again launching its annual Christmas Giving Campaign—a heartfelt effort to seek out and support individuals and families who have quietly fallen through the cracks. The mission is simple: to bring light, dignity, and hope to those who need it most.

Since its beginning just four years ago, this initiative has grown from a humble idea into a life-changing movement. Last Christmas alone, more than 200 families across the country received unexpected support—financial relief, but also something even more powerful.

“We don’t just send checks,” says Steven Schowengerdt, CEO and founder of City Lifestyle. “We send a message: You are seen. You are loved. And you are not forgotten.”

Together with City Lifestyle President Matthew Perry, Steven has helped shape this into a tradition that goes far beyond charity. “This is about community,” Matthew adds. “We believe we’ve been blessed, so now we get to be a blessing.”

Every story begins with a nomination. Often, it’s a neighbor, coworker, friend, or teacher—someone who’s been quietly carrying too much for too long. One past recipient, after receiving unexpected support during a time of deep personal struggle, wrote:

SCAN TO NOMINATE

“We send a message: You are seen. You are loved. And you are not forgotten.”

“Beyond the very practical solution of receiving funds to fix my car, this thing you guys worked together to do is bigger than that. I carry the Christmas card you sent in my purse. When things get really hard, I pull it out and remember what it felt like to be seen. That card represents hope— that change for the better is possible. I’m not sure how many people get to carry hope around in their purse. But I do.”

Another wrote in after her husband was diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer and unable to work:

“This support has blessed our family not only financially, but emotionally and spiritually as we trust God to meet our needs throughout this difficult time. Thank you to our anonymous friend and to your foundation. What a joy and gift to be part of God’s family!”

Each year brings countless stories like these—real lives touched by simple acts of kindness. Some use the funds to pay overdue bills, others to afford groceries, medication, or repairs. But no matter the circumstance, the impact is the same: hope is restored.

This season, you have the opportunity to be part of that. The campaign is now open to nominations—completely confidential and prayerfully considered. Whether it’s someone battling illness, facing unemployment, or just in need of a helping hand, you can bring them a moment of grace that will ripple far beyond Christmas morning.

“Knowing my mom was chosen filled my heart with indescribable joy,” said another past recipient. “Your generosity doesn’t just brighten her life; it inspires hope and faith in all of us. It enables her to stay in her home and get back on her feet.”

Nominations are open from November 1st to December 5th, 2025. To submit someone you know, simply scan the QR code or visit @CityLifestyle on Instagram, where you’ll find the nomination form in the bio.

This holiday season, let’s give more than gifts. Let’s give each other the gift of being seen. Because sometimes, the smallest gesture becomes someone’s greatest miracle.
