Anteks owner Jason Lenox saved baby rhinos with every ceramic cactus, Hancock chair and Pendleton blanket this last May where at an anticipated occasion Candy Evans emceed. Most know after 35 years of business that Lenox’s interior design talents help us achieve pastoral elegance or log home luxury, but this summer the refined rustic aesthetic supported the rhino conservation efforts at Fossil Rim.

Nexus Recovery Center has been the beneficiary of the Westapher Auction and Golf Tournament since 2005 yet Nexus has been turning lives around for women and their children for more than 40 years. The center which sits on a 12 acre campus in East Dallas, offers a full range of recovery services from detoxification through residential and outpatient treatment –even aftercare and housing services. Nexus offers programs for adult women and adolescent girls ages 13 to 17, including those who are pregnant or accompanied by children. Nexus is one of only a few national programs that invite women to bring their children into treatment. Nexus is the only treatment center in Texas that accepts late term pregnant and newly parenting adolescents. By allowing children to accompany their mothers into treatment and by providing treatment regardless of ability to pay, Nexus removes barriers for recovery.

Faye Briggs, a dedicated member of the Nexus Women's Auxiliary, will host the Westapher Auction party at her sprawling Preston Hollow home on Sunday, October 6th, where guests will tour her lovely estate, mingle with Dallas notables and bid on coveted auction items.
