You remember my post about not being able to get through to the Pizza Hut media relations office? I was calling to ask about the H.U.T. Fund, a charity created by Pizza Hut CEO Scott Bergren exclusively to help students at my alma mater, the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts.
The Booker T. orchestra has a chance to perform at Carnegie Hall in May, but the trip will cost about $70,000. The group already has more than $50,000 in the bank, and a good portion of that money came from the H.U.T. Fund. As a proud alum, I’d like to publicly thank Bergren for his generosity.
You can read more about the Booker T. orchestra in the current issues of Preston Hollow People and Oak Cliff People. And you can hear them perform — for free — at 7:30 tomorrow night at SMU’s Caruth Auditorium.
