The Ball is the largest annual invitation only gala in the world.

DALLAS — On Saturday, November 10, 2007, the 31st anniversary Dallas Margarita Charity Ball sponsored by the Dallas Margarita Society, Inc. (DMS) d.b.a. Dallas Children's Charities will come to Dallas. This Charity Ball is the largest annual invitation only gala in the World, and will take place at the Adam's Mark Hotel. Guests must have an invitation to enter and are requested to donate one toy (valued at $25 or more) or a $25 cash contribution per person.

"For the past 31 years, the Dallas Margarita Society has hosted the Dallas Margarita Ball. It's vital that guests realize that even though this is one of the largest events all season, it is a private event and each guest must be invited by a Dallas Margarita Society director, member, director emeritus or by one of DMS's generous sponsors." commented Tom Ford, president, DMS. "It is an amazing site to see thousands of people, dressed to the nine, toys triple stacked on one another. This year we expect to entertain over 8,500 people. For many, the Ball has become a staple in kicking off the holiday season but each year we see more new faces. We look forward to an even better event, with more toys than ever this year."

The second floor will feature the sounds of The Wonders and Moving Colors in the Main (Lone Star) Ballroom with continuous live music and dancing. This is also the level where guests will be amazed to see the mountain of toys accumulate in the toy collection area. The DMS tradition continues, as guests will find the signature Margarita Fountains, flowing with sumptuous libation throughout the evening.

The Ball generates truckloads of toys that are used to delight thousands of underprivileged children in the Dallas/Fort Worth region during the holiday season. Each guest is requested to bring an unwrapped toy valued at $25 or more, knowing that their gifts may be the only presents these kids will receive for Christmas.

The toys are distributed through Love For Kids, Inc., a non-profit organization that directly supports underprivileged children in the DFW region. Love for Kids, Inc. along with members of the Dallas Margarita Society, Inc. will distribute the toys on Saturday, December 8th at the annual Love for Kids Christmas Party. Approximately 3,500 children are brought to the party in buses and vans and the toys are loaded into their vehicles while the kids enjoy the games, hayrides, food, and prizes at their holiday party.
