Bax brings in the bucks
DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff WriterTaffet@DallasVoice.com Terry Bax just passed a fundraising milestone: In his 16 years of raising money for local charities, he just hit — and exceeded — the $1 million mark.
And, he has declared, now that he’s reached that goal, he’s retiring from fundraising. No one really believes that part, though.
He’s just so good at it, and he enjoys it too much. In 2007, Bax participated in LifeWalk for the first time and was so impressed with the event that, the next year, he created his own team. “I started raising money under the name Team Shamrock in 2008,” Bax said. “The next year we became Team Clover.” And Team Clover it’s been ever since, becoming LifeWalk’s most successful fundraising team in its debut year.
Then Bax’s dad, who lived in Kansas City, became ill, and he moved to take care of him. There, he became involved in that city’s AIDS walk.
