Proceeds help sustain vital programs

On the evening of Saturday, Sept. 12, Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center (DCAC) will host its marquee fundraiser, Art for Advocacy, marking the event’s 19th year. One of Dallas’ most anticipated nights of art and philanthropy, Art for Advocacy celebrates the transformative healing power of art while raising critical funds and awareness to support children and families served by DCAC. Art for Advocacy is one of DCAC’s most significant annual fundraising events, bringing together the Dallas philanthropic and arts communities in support of the organization’s mission to improve the lives of abused children in Dallas County. In 2025, Art for Advocacy raised an incredible $2.1 million, the equivalent of the cost of providing forensic interviews to 6,400 children. Proceeds from this year’s event will once again help sustain DCAC’s vital programs and provide hope and healing to children and families impacted by abuse. Presented by LABORA, the evening will begin at 6:30 p.m. at 8000 Ambassador Row in Dallas. Guests will enjoy cocktails, a silent art auction featuring more than 60 works, a seated dinner and a highly anticipated live art auction. The artwork is generously donated in support of DCAC, harnessing the power of the arts to help make a lasting difference for children across Dallas County.
