Wildcatter Risk, Philanthropic Return

Trevor Rees-Jones Inducted into EFNT's Ring of Honor

ENTREPRENEURS FOR NORTH TEXAS, a program of Communities Foundation of Texas, held its 13th Annual Spirit of Entrepreneurship event which serves as a celebration of the hard work and dedication of good corporate citizens and the meaningful change they bring to our communities. This year’s event theme was “Wildcatter Risk, Philanthropic Return,” and it was a night to remember as EFNT inducted one of Dallas’ most successful entrepreneurs and philanthropists, Trevor Rees-Jones, into its esteemed Ring of Entrepreneurs which also includes Ross Perot, Ray Hunt, Herb Kelleher, T. Boone Pickens, Jim Keyes, Ebby Halliday Acers, Roger Staubach, Bill Lively, Craig Hall,and Charles and Sam Wyly. This event brought together 250 entrepreneurs, philanthropists and community leaders to celebrate those doing well while doing good.

Another exciting portion of the Spirit of Entrepreneurship ceremony is the presentation of the North Star Award. This recognition goes to those in the EFNT community who have demonstrated powerful commitments to making meaningful contributions to our neighborhoods and to strengthening EFNT’s network of good corporate citizens. Through their generous contributions of time, energy, creativity and resources, these award winners make North Texas the best place to live, work and raise our families. This year’s winners were Imaginuity Interactive and Montgomery Coscia Greilich, LLP. To learn more about EFNT, visit www.efnt.com.
