## Resource

A hundred million dollars—yes, you heard that right—just poured into the North Texas Community Foundation from the estate of Beverly Hudgins Ray Parkhurst, a Fort Worth native and TCU alum who made her mark in California and helped build the Texas Pavilion at the 1965 World’s Fair. This historic gift is already fueling major wins: $250K to preserve Texas history, $600K to protect local nature, $500K transforming the Fort Worth Botanic Garden with a new family garden opening this November—and more for women’s education, animal welfare, the arts, and community support. Rose Bradshaw calls it proof that giving back can change everything. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
