SWP Gives Back

SEARCH Foundation Raffle Fundraiser

“By event pros, for event pros.  Special Events Assistance, Relief & Crisis Help (SEARCH) Foundation was formed in 1997 to assist event, meetings and catering professionals faced with a life threatening illness.  Since that time, it has expanded to include not only illness, but catastrophic occurrences.  

Crisis means many things to many people.  Your entire neighborhood washed away in a flood, being ravaged by wildfires, or lost in a tornado.  A routine check-up coming  back with the dreaded words “you have cancer”.  A car accident that leaves you impaired or hospitalized for an extended period of time.  SEARCH Foundation has been a lifeline for many Event Industry Professionals at the most difficult or times.  Please consider making a donation through SWP to continue the SEARCH Foundations good work within our communities.” 

The Wedding Wish

Every day couples in the DFW area become engaged  and thousands wed each year.
