honorary chairs

Maylee Thomas-Fuller and McKinney Mayor George Fuller have always held in their hearts a passion to help children.  In 1992, Maylee and George founded Love Life Foundation and for the last three decades, Love Life has brought awareness of the many tragedies inflicted upon children and have identified supporting agencies and groups that bring relief and comfort to the young victims and their families.

The Children’s Advocacy Center has been supported by Love Life since the Center’s inception.  The Fullers have committed CACCC to a very special place in the mission of Love Life. They believe that what happens in the hours and days following child abuse are profoundly impactful on the healing process for the children and their families and faithfully attest to the Center’s mission to bring hope and healing. CACCC is grateful to the Fullers for their ongoing commitment of support through Love Life and their faithful service to keep children and families thriving in Collin County and beyond.

ENTERTAINMENT

From big band jazz music to a high energy mix of dance hits, The Georgia Bridgwater Orchestra, led by Manchester born, British Bombshell, Georgia Bridgwater, is guaranteed to fill the dancefloor!
