The 2013 luncheon raised an astonishing $400,000 for the 2013 beneficiary, Hope’s Door. “I am so proud of our members and the difference we will help make in the lives of women, children, and families in North Texas.”

Hope’s Door Executive Director, Pat Tosi commented, “Amy’s dedication to ASC and Hope’s Door, as its beneficiary, was inspiring!  Her energy and positive attitude were able to help motivate everyone involved in the luncheon.  We are incredibly grateful to have been selected as the 2013 beneficiary and appreciate all of Amy’s hard work on behalf of our clients. The support of ASC will go a long way toward ending domestic violence in our area.”
