Destiny Award Luncheon

Celebrating 20 years!

St. Philip’s 20th Anniversary Destiny Award Luncheon, held on February 21, was a huge success.

The event featured Academy Award nominee, Golden Globe winner, and star of the award-winning film Hidden Figures, Taraji P. Henson who engaged in a live conversation moderated by Lily Weiss, Executive Director for the Dallas Arts District.

During the luncheon, St. Philip’s announced a generous gift of $3M from The Moody Foundation to the WE BELIEVE CAMPAIGN’s major capital project. The generous gift will partially fund and name the new Moody Performing and Fine Arts Pavilion. Additionally, Jewel and Roland Parrish established a permanent endowment to name the Destiny Award Luncheon Speaker, enabling St. Philip’s to continue to invite extraordinary individuals to share their message.

Henson inspired the audience with a message about living her own truth. She openly spoke about her challenges in the entertainment industry, failure, and even finding her true calling. Henson mentioned her grandmother and her father as important figures in her life, who instilled in her the resilience matched with the down-to-earth personality she has today. son could have attended a model institution like St. Philip’s as a child, “The St. Philip’s model needs to be in every city in the country.” Henson said. Henson pledged $10,000 for St. Philip’s School and Community Center during the luncheon.

Peter S. Brodsky, investor and business executive received the 2020 Mona & David Munson Humanitarian Award in recognition of his significant contributions to the revitalization and restoration of the Southern Dallas community, particularly as owner of Reimagine RedBird development (formerly known as Southwest Center Mall and, prior to that, Red Bird Mall). His investment will help restore the mall and area to a place of pride and quality in the community.

St. Philip’s welcomed luncheon Honorary Chairs Sophia

and Willis Johnson.
