Welcome to the Dallas Children’s Charities website!
The Dallas Margarita Society, Inc., (d.b.a. Dallas Children’s Charities) was formed in 1977 when a small group of business acquaintances decided to host a holiday party for associates and friends.
The Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization whose goals are twofold. The first is to provide at-risk Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex children with gifts at Christmas time and the second is to help those community organizations that work with at-risk children throughout the year.
The Dallas Margarita Ball has grown over the years and is now believed to be the largest annual invitation-only charity black-tie gala in the world, providing gifts for more than 6,800 at-risk children each year.
Become a SPONSOR (click here) – Our supporters keep us going, our volunteers help us do the work, but our sponsors provide the financial backbone that enables us to reach out to the thousands of children that DMS/DCC assists each year. Sponsorships range from $500 to $25,000 and beyond. Each year, our group of sponsors grows, and DMS/DCC is truly grateful for their support. Each sponsorship level comes with specific privileges, and we also host special events exclusively for our sponsors. For more information about sponsorship, please visit the Sponsor section on our DMS/DCC website or ask a Director or Member; we will be happy to share the details with you. We love hearing where our sponsors first learned about us. Many have started as supporters, gotten to know us, fallen in love with our mission, and decided they wanted to contribute more. While DMS/DCC provides valuable services to the community, our sponsors are the ones who provide essential funding. Join our group of sponsors today – we need you!
Become a VOLUNTEER (click here) DMS/DCC hosts multiple events each year, many of which would not be possible without the generous assistance of hundreds of volunteers. These individuals join us to help during our Annual Margarita Ball, support the LFK Christmas Party, participate in the DMS Golf Tournament, and occasionally assist with charitable events we organize or support, such as the Kids Bike Rodeo sponsored by the Dallas Police Department. Volunteers have the opportunity to connect with us on a deeper level in two significant ways. First, we work side by side with a common goal, and the real enjoyment comes from “pitching in to do it together.” Second, we occasionally host Volunteer-Only parties to express our gratitude to these amazing supporters. Since our events vary—ranging from social gatherings that raise funds to activities where our beneficiary children are also in attendance—we lightly screen our volunteers to ensure they possess the proper character and decorum. We couldn’t accomplish our mission without our volunteers. If you have some free time and enjoy having fun, please visit our Facebook page or website to sign up as a volunteer. We will contact you with details on how you can help with our events!
Become a SUPPORTER (click here) Our supporters are the very core of the community support that propels the mission of DMS/DCC. Supporters follow our activities through our network of friends, our Facebook group, and our group email announcements. They participate in all the activities they can, whenever and wherever they can, by joining us for DMS Happy Hours, playing in our DMS Golf Tournament, attending our Annual Margarita Ball, volunteering at the LFK Christmas party, or coming out with us during other DMS-sponsored special events during each year. To become a SUPPORTER, just go to our website, sign up on our email list, and come join us at our events! We want to get to know you! Several folks start as Supporters and grow their involvement into many other forms.
