Dear Friend, Supporters of the Yellow Rose Gala Foundation will gather Saturday April 2, 2016, at the Renaissance Dallas Hotel for the 30th Anniversary of the Gala’s establishment, featuring Honorary Chair: Caroline Rose Hunt, Grammy Award-Winning Entertainer Gloria Gaynor, and Event Emcee: Lauren Przybyl, News Anchor • Fox 4 Good Day. The Yellow Rose Gala Foundation was first established in April 1986, the year of the Texas Sesquicentennial by founders Dee and Jimmy Wynne shortly after Dee’s diagnosis with multiple sclerosis. From its establishment in 1986-2001 the gala netted over $5 million dollars for multiple sclerosis research. One of the premier galas of Dallas, the Yellow Rose Gala was known for its lavish affair as well as famous entertainment. In 2001 the Eagles, Stevie Nicks and Trisha Yearwood played at the Gala, an event to remember that netted $2 million in that year alone. Following Dee Wynne’s passing and in honor of her memory, the Foundation has been reestablished. The Yellow Rose Gala Foundation is an active 501(c)(3) that has the drive and vision to forever rid the world of MS. Through this initiative the Yellow Rose Gala Foundation is partnering with the National MS Society where 100% of the net proceeds raised will go directly to Progressive MS research. The 2016, 30th Anniversary Gala will be an evening to remember, featuring outstanding entertainment, auctions, and raffles that made the original Gala so memorable. CultureMap recently listed the Yellow Rose Gala as one of the top 12 spring social events you do not want to miss in 2016. The Yellow Rose Gala Foundation can only achieve success with the assistance of generous donations from members of the community like yourself. We would like to ask you to join in the cause and support the Yellow Rose Gala by providing an In-Kind donation for our live auction, silent auction, raffle or gift bags. Thank you for your consideration and generosity. We look forward to your partnership with the Yellow Rose Gala Foundation. Finding a cure for multiple sclerosis starts with you! Should you have any questions, or would like to help support the Yellow Rose Gala through service, please contact Fallon Wynne Way at (512) 842-ROSE or [email protected]. Sincerely,

Fallon Wynne Way President
