Black Tie Dinner announces beneficiaries, ‘Power of Pride’ theme
The Black Tie Dinner officially kicked off its 41st year tonight (Wednesday, April 6) with a party at On The Levee, where dinner officials unveiled the theme for this year’s dinner — Power of Pride — and announced a slate of 19 local beneficiaries.
PNC Bank last year acquired the dinner’s longtime presenting sponsor, BBVA, and has recommitted to its support for Black Tie, increasing its support level as the new presenting sponsor.
Terry D. Loftis, Black Tie’s 2022 senior co-chair, said, “PNC’s generous increase in support of the Black Tie Dinner is a testament to our work in serving the diverse beneficiaries that make up the fabric of our community.
We stand together in our mutual goal to serve the LGBTQ+ community, not just at the dinner, but across all spectrums.” Brendan McGuire, PNC’s regional president for North Texas, said Black Tie is “a crucial fundraising initiative for the LGBTQ community, both in North Texas and across the U.S.
