TXMPA December Fund Raiser Events

Come one, come all to a TXMPA holiday party near you!

This month TXMPA will host fund raising events all across the state.  We would like to extend the invitation not only to everyone who works in the industry but also those who support the local industry as a whole. Bring a friend the more the merrier!

This will be a great time to share holiday greetings and network with those who keep this business moving and shaking in North Texas. Anticipate a night of camaraderie with music and dancing, billiards, bull-riding, and a silent auction benefiting Texas Motion Picture Alliance.  Studio Bar & Grill, located in the Gilley’s complex, will be open for food purchases and there will be a cash bar. Plenty of free parking exists on-sight.

Net proceeds will go to TXMPA’s mission to bring more business to Texas and we will collect non-perishable food donations for the North Texas Food Bank. See you there!
