118 TWICE AS NICE BY CHRISTINA GEYER. PHOTOGRAPHY SCOT REDMAN. S pring is the busiest of all seasons for Ronald McDonald House of Dallas, with two back- to-back events on its calendar that span the generations. First up was Under the Texas Moonlight Gala held at The Hall on Dragon Street in Dallas Design District. The dressed-up evening was a record breaker for RMHD. Chairs April Cook and Alyson Engstrom tapped Shinyribs for musical entertainment, and the Austin-based country-soul band didn't disappoint, turning the night into a concert worthy of Austin City Limits. Next up, RMHD celebrated its bright young patrons with the annual Young Friends party and fundraiser. Young Friends has long been a staple on the PYT social calendar, and this year chairs Ellie Lewis and Lauren Rellihan raised the bar, hosting the event at the enduringly chic Joule hotel. Cocktails flowed and the dance floor stayed hot — thanks to partygoer favorite Georgia Bridgwater Orchestra. While entertainment was certainly en point, those who have attended Young Friends in the past know the highlight of the eve is the robust silent auction. Let's just say that plenty of buzzed bidding happens — we've swiped our own card for winning lots at least a few times — all for the benefit of Ronald McDonald House of Dallas. RONALD McDONALD'S SPRING FUNDRAISERS TAKE US ALL ABOUT TOWN, FROM THE DALLAS DESIGN DISTRICT TO DOWNTOWN.
