Texas Trailblazer Awards Luncheon 2025
October 10, 2025 | The Fairmont Dallas
This October, join The Family Place for a powerful and meaningful afternoon as we gather for the 2025 Texas Trailblazer Awards Luncheon—a beloved tradition that has honored decades of courageous leaders, advocates, and changemakers.
With the theme Voices of Hope, this year’s luncheon will celebrate not only those using their platforms to uplift survivors of family violence—but also the many voices that have helped shape this event’s extraordinary legacy.
This year’s event is chaired by an incredible trio of community leaders: Kristen Cobb, Katie Samler and Ellis Thomas
Their vision and passion are helping shape a memorable and meaningful experience for all who attend.

A Tribute to Every Voice
As we reflect on the extraordinary impact of this luncheon series, we recognize that the landscape of advocacy has grown—and so has the number of inspiring individuals doing this work. With so many trailblazers rising in every corner of our community, this year’s event serves as a heartfelt tribute to the collective power of all those who’ve led the way. It’s a meaningful moment to celebrate the journey we’ve shared through this signature event—and the lasting legacy it leaves behind.
Lift Every Voice
Together, we’ll honor the voices that have brought us this far—and the voices still rising to carry hope forward. Join us for one unforgettable afternoon of inspiration, impact and community.
