Spirit of Generations Luncheon

In 1994, The Spirit of Generations Award was created to honor leaders who have significantly contributed in “thoughts, words and deeds” to all generations of the greater Dallas community. Over the past three decades, the Spirit of Generations luncheon has raised more than $22 million to help older adults live with dignity, purpose and security.

’ve exceeded our goal of $1,000,000 to help ensure the financial and emotional well-being of over 25,000 Dallas-area seniors.
