SERVING UP A CURE

Gary Fate and Sharla Martin of Hull & Company General Agency in Dallas are once again heading up the organization of 7UP’s Serving Up A Cure Celebrity Waiter Dinner, benefiting the Duchenne Dystrophy research efforts of the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Fate is the Chairman for this year’s dinner and Martin is once again serving as his right hand assistant. The two were active in last year’s dinner as well. This year’s event will be the fourth annual celebrity waiter dinner. It is MDA’s most successful social event in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and brought in more than $285,000 in donations in 2001. It will be held at the Dallas Infomart on Nov. 9. A cocktail reception, silent and live auctions, and an elegant seated dinner will be highlights of the star-studded evening. Celebrity waiters participating in last year’s dinner included former Miami Dolphin Lyle Blackwood, former Dallas Cowboy John Fitzgerald, Congressman Pete Sessions, NBC 5’s Chief Meteorologist David Finfrock and Anchor Mike Snyder, KSCS Radio’s Terry Dorsey and many other Dallas broadcast personalities.
