Devereux Texas Executive Director Pamela Reed cited the fundraiser as a fun-filled way to cap off the summer and benefit the deserving youth Devereux works with each day. “The work we do has a very real, very lasting impact on some of the most underserved members of our community. These individuals don’t just need us, but they need all of you,” she said. “Without your generous support, we couldn’t do the work that we do.
