Taste of the NFL meets goal for a touchdown!

This year’s Taste of the NFL: The Ultimate Cowboys Tailgate Party officially met its goal to surpass the $1 million dollar fundraising mark for funds collectively raised since this local effort began back in 2004!

A total of $195,523 was raised on Sunday, May 20, at the Omni Dallas. The eighth annual Taste of the NFL event was filled with great food, friends, fun, music, and most importantly a focus on tackling childhood hunger.

There were gourmet food stations set up around the ballroom with delicious dining from top chefs at popular area restaurants like Jasper's, Bob's Steak and Chop House, Whiskey Cake, The Place at Perry's, Legends Hospitality at Cowboys Stadium, and Private Social.  Thank YOU for helping provide 586,569 meals to hungry children in North Texas!
