BY // 05.15.18

What: Echelon Gala Patron Party

Where: Diamonds Direct

PC Moment: Ahead of last weekend’s Echelon Gala, the Dallas young professionals organization’s sixth annual big event, patrons and well-heeled supporters gathered to toast to tireless efforts, give well-deserved thanks, and bask in all things sparkly. With Diamonds Direct as the event’s underwriting sponsor, there was plenty to ooh and aah over, including one exceptional piece donated for the Gala’s raffle.

As the young adult auxiliary of The Salvation Army, Echelon has raised more than $1.2 million for the organization’s local programs since the chapter’s inception in 2010. Patron party co-chairs Mattie Berry, Jordan Jones, and Meredith Bayoud mingled with guests amongst the bling before thanking corporate sponsors Jackson Durham Events, SoulCycle, and the Dallas Cowboys.

Who: Emmanuel Nwakibu, Taylor Miller, Margaret Phillips, Carol Seay, Janie Flowers, Alex Turner, Sarah Johnson, Joe Rubio, Sandra Saenz, Jeanne Phillips, Vickie Bayoud, David Holiner, Eric Spector, Deirdre Huffines, James Hairston, Sarah Dvorak, Barbara and Jonathan Rich, Jordan Toledo, Kevin Lazares, Mackenzie Kleinert, Connor Thomas, Calee Dillon, Randall Neely, Amaka Nwakibu, and Ugochukwu Nwakibu.
