NDBT North Star Luncheon

Family Compass invites you to join us for the 8th Annual North Star Luncheon, presented by Title Sponsor NDBT, on Monday, April 27, 2026, at the Arts District Mansion. We will kick off the morning with a VIP Reception at 10:30 a.m., followed by our program at 11:30 a.m. This inspiring afternoon celebrates The Art of Family, honoring the beauty, strength, and resilience that emerge when families are supported, connected, and empowered.

This year’s program will feature an engaging panel conversation with Christina Meredith, author, advocate, and U.S. Army officer, and Rolando Diaz, acclaimed Dallas artist known for his expressive storytelling through art. The discussion will be moderated by Calvert Collins-Bratton, philanthropist and community leader. Together, they will explore how creativity, compassion, and perseverance shape both families and communities.

Guests will enjoy an elegant luncheon experience surrounded by art and inspiration as we raise critical funds to support Family Compass programs that prevent child abuse and neglect by strengthening families from within.

Join us as we celebrate The Art of Family and the collective impact that transforms lives across North Texas.
