Don't miss the Kid's Construction Zone where children can create their own buildings!
Tickets to the exhibit are $5 each for adults and $3 each for children, with proceeds benefiting East Dallas Community Schools. The exhibit is located on Level Two between Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom, next to Barneys New York.
East Dallas Community School (EDCS) began in 1978 when a small group of inner-city parents and teachers met to discuss how to improve the education of their children. The mission of EDCS is to provide outstanding education to culturally and economically diverse groups of children from primarily low income families during their first nine years of life. EDCS third-grade alumni graduate from high school at a rate of 94%, with 88% of those graduates attending college.

The silent auction will include items such as a weekend trip for two to Horseshoe Bay Resort, a condo in Puerto Vallarta and sports tickets and memorabilia. This year's event will have a Halloween theme.
Sam's Day raises money for the fight to end Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Sam's Day was started as a way to help educate others about DMD and to help raise funds to support PPMD's research mission. After five years of taking place at Flag Pole Hill at White Rock Lake, this local outreach effort and fundraiser will take place at NorthPark Center's CenterPark Garden. DMD is the most common fatal genetic disorder diagnosed in childhood, affecting approximately 1 in every 3,500 live male births (about 20,000 new cases each year). DMD is a degenerative disease that will cause muscles to break down over time. The event is named for Sam Killian who was diagnosed with DMD in 2005.
This annual event has raised nearly $600,000 over the past 5 years, with all donations benefiting Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD). PPMD was organized in 1994 and is led by Pat Furlong who had two sons with DMD. The organization is totally dedicated to Duchenne and has been a leader in funding research and lobbying lawmakers to dedicate resources to the fight against DMD. Sponsors of Sam's Day include Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P., ING, NorthPark Center, Vinson and Elkins and Northwestern Mutual. For more information on Sam's Day, please visit www.SamsDayTexas.org.
