    Given the unpredictable nature of COVID-19, it's hard to predict whether mass gatherings will be possible next month or even next year. So Dallas nonprofits continue to look for new and inventive ways to raise vital funds to support their missions.

     

    More and more charities are pivoting to virtual presentations of galas, luncheons, and other parties this fall. Below are the latest to reveal plans for virtual fundraisers. (To find previously announced events for September, go here.)

     

     Kluber Family Foundation Curveball for a Cause Celebrity Gala, September 13
     UPDATE: This is now an all-virtual event. For more information, visit the website.

     

    The Kluber Family Foundation, established by Amanda and Corey Kluber, will present the inaugural 2020 Curveball for a Cause Celebrity Gala both in person and online September 13. Corey Kluber is a Coppell High School graduate and two-time Cy Young Award-winning pitcher, who recently joined the Texas Rangers (though he is now injured).

     

    According to a release and the foundation's website, in-person guests will enjoy a cocktail reception, multi-course seated dinner, and live entertainment at Arlington's new Live! By Loews hotel beginning at 6:30 pm. The event will feature silent and live auctions, and Kluber and several of his Texas Rangers teammates will make virtual appearances. All social distancing guidelines will be followed, the release says, including contactless check-in with volunteers and vendors required to wear masks.

     

    For fans who would like to take part virtually, a “Stay-at-Home” package also will be available. It will include virtual access to the event, autographed swag, and a steak dinner and wine pairing delivered to the home.

     

    Single tickets to the gala are available at $400 each, but just $250 for the at-home event. For more information and tickets, visit www.coreykluber.org.

     

    Proceeds from Curveball for a Cause will support the Kluber Family Foundation’s community outreach programs, which work to impact the lives of families who have seriously ill and chronically ill children.

     

     New Friends New Life Annual Luncheon, September 18
    New Friends New Life will present a virtual edition of its annual luncheon, which raises funds for its mission to restore and empower formerly trafficked and sexually exploited women, teens, and children. The event will take place at 11:30 am September 18, and is co-chaired by board members Jane A. Rose and Jessica Turner Waugh with honorary co-chairs Elizabeth and Eric Gambrell.

     

     Cyntoia Brown-Long, a sex trafficking survivor and advocate for criminal justice reform, will be the featured speaker. Brown-Long is the author of Free Cyntoia: My Search for Redemption in the American Prison System and the subject of a documentary about her life. Receiving the 2020 ProtectHER awards will be: Natalie Nanasi, director of the Judge Elmo B. Hunter Legal Center for Victims of Crimes Against Women and SMU assistant professor of law; and Brittany K. Barnett, author, entrepreneur, and attorney committed to reform of the criminal justice system.

     

    Individual tickets are available for $100 each; guests will receive a link to view the luncheon. For more information and tickets, visit www.newfriendsnewlife.org/luncheon.

     

     Texas Women’s Foundation 35th Annual Luncheon, September 29
    Themed “Texas for All,” the Texas Women's Foundation's biggest fundraiser of the year will take place virtually and feature a celebrity keynote speaker: actress America Ferrera. The event will take place 11:30 am-1 pm September 29, and in honor of the 35th anniversary, tickets are just $35 each.

     

    Business and community leaders Cynt Marshall (chief executive officer of The Dallas Mavericks) and Bonnie Clinton (vice president for Toyota North America) are co-chairing the luncheon. Other participants include foundation president Roslyn Dawson Thompson, foundation board chair A. Shonn Brown, and Laysha Ward, Target executive vice president.

     

    Ferrera, known for her roles on TV's Ugly Betty and Superstore, also executive produced and directed episodes of Netflix’s new Latinx Dramedy, Gentefied. She is the author of the best-selling American Like Me, a collection of first-person accounts from prominent figures about growing up between cultures in America, and is a prominent advocate of social justice causes.

     

    The Texas Women's Foundation works to advance women’s economic security, leadership, education, health, and safety in Texas through research, advocacy, programs, and grantmaking. For more information or to purchase a ticket, visit txwfluncheon.org.

    Dallas TikTok star Keith Lee crafts matcha drink for flood relief

    Keith Lee hoists his special matcha drink.

    The devastating floods that swept across Central Texas on July 4 are bringing out all kinds of charitable endeavors — and that includes a limited-edition beverage from Dallas' favorite TikTok food influencer Keith Lee.

    Lee, a social media sensation whose online food reviews have benefited hundreds of small restaurants, is partnering with Dallas-based La La Land Cafe on a special drink: Called the La La Land X Keith Lee Latte, it's a matcha drink in which 100 percent of the proceeds will go towards Kerr County flood relief.

    La La Land is the coffee chain founded in Dallas in 2019 with a mission to provide opportunities for fostering youth and individuals in need. It now has 10 locations across Dallas-Fort Worth, plus three in Houston and six in Southern California.

    The new Keith Lee Latte will consist of double ceremonial matcha, with secret syrup, matcha cloud, a whole fresh strawberry, flaky salt, and matcha powder. (Lee can be seen enjoying the beverage in this video.)

    Matcha is the Japanese green tea powder that has experienced a surge in popularity, appearing in everything from drinks like the matcha latte to desserts like matcha mousse.

    Lee, who relocated to Dallas in 2024, has been on a matcha kick ever since he tried it in Chicago, which he says "led me down a rabbit hole," and it has become his trademark drink. In May, he visited seven cafes across DFW in search of the perfect matcha in town, and that included La La Land, where he ordered a matcha with almond milk.

    He also has a charitable history, including a special visit he made to Taste Project in Fort Worth to donate $4,000 to support the nonprofit's mission to fight food insecurity.

    The Keith Lee Latte will be available at all La La Land cafes beginning Friday July 11, for a limited time only. From July 11-27, 100 percent of all proceeds will support flood relief efforts in Kerr County - "a community in our home state that’s hurting," La La Land Cafe says.
