"Bank of Texas is so proud to be
partnering again with The Family Place for Partners Card for the ninth year,"
said Mike Meredith, Senior Vice
President, Commercial Banking, Bank of Texas. "The Family Place's mission
to end domestic violence is truly one of the most important causes of our
times. It's a difficult subject that many folks do not want to talk or think
about, but it's a reality for too many, and we're very appreciative of the work
The Family Place does to help so many people." The Family Place
CEO Paige Flink reminded guests of
the reason behind the card and noted that their money aided in a big way by
helping The Family Place get the first men into shelters, as well as many women
and children. The remarks concluded with attendees coming together in
celebration of the cause as “We Are
Family” by Sister Sledge played through the speakers.
