Crowning moment
Miss LifeWalk final Pageant brings a close to Summer of LifeWalk RICH LOPEZ | Staff writerrich@dallasvoice.com LifeWalk has looked a bit different this year: In lieu of the traditional 5K walk throughout Oak Lawn neighborhoods, this year’s fundraiser was a series of events dubbed the Summer of LifeWalk.
And for the “crowning” achievement of the summer, LifeWalk organizer and beneficiary Prism Health North Texas will host the 17th annual Miss LifeWalk Pageant Sept.
24 in the Rose Room at S4. The pageant will conclude the 32nd annual LifeWalk, which raises money each year for Prism’s mission to advance the health of North Texans through education, research, prevention, and personalized HIV care. “The shift in format has made this a successful and rewarding LifeWalk,” PHNTX Events Manager Terry Walker said in a press release. “We kicked off the Summer of LifeWalk with the Marketpalooza and Pub Crawl on the Cedar Springs Strip, followed by brunch with Pride Vodka at Roy G’s and the extremely successful seventh annual Team Clover Open hosted by long-time LifeWalk team Team Clover.
Team Clover recruited 51 teams to play putt-putt and enjoy a silent auction in the name of Prism Health North Texas.” While the walk itself is not off the table for the future, this year’s pivot was a new way to get people involved and reconnected with the event as well as raise donations for Prism’s services.
