This weekend, Food For Thought, sponsored by The Dallas Association of Young Lawyers took place at The Tower Club. The celebrity chef event featured more than a dozen chefs, a silent auction, and an award presentation to Ebby Holliday for her work in promoting education and to raising funds for Big Thought. In this video, Nancy Webb, a vice president of Big Thought, describes the charity’s work.
