The Trinity Ballroom at the Omni Hotel Dallas was packed as guests visited with friends during the reception, enjoyed a fabulous dinner, and never left the dance floor with The Fab Four at the 10^th annual BeatLeukemia Ball presented by McGladrey benefiting LeukemiaTexas.

The air was filled with excitement as guests entered the ballroom to the sounds of the Highland Park High School string quartet, posed on the red carpet in front of the Hollywood backdrop, and were treated to cocktails and hors d’ouervres.

For those who don’t know, The Fab Four - The Ultimate Tribute to The Beatles! is the spectacular musical show for which The BeatLeukemiaBall is renowned and patrons look forward to every year.

Donations in any amount are always welcome as guests were directed to the tall donation tower, lit from inside with the LeukemiaTexas logo, making a striking presence and visited often by donors.
