The Farrah Fawcett Foundation (FFF) has announced that this year's 4th biennial Tex-Mex Fiesta benefit will be held in Dallas at The Rustic on October 20, 2022. President and CEO of the FFF and Farrah's long-time friend, Alana Stewart, will be co-hosting along with Farrah's former Charlie's Angels co-star, Jaclyn Smith. Honorees include Linda Gray, (of TV's Dallas) and a special acknowledgement to Ryan O'Neal for his continued support of the FFF.
For the first time, we are celebrating the legacy of Farrah in her home state by bringing our Tex-Mex event to Dallas, instead of the traditional location in Beverly Hills. Farrah was a Texas girl so this would have meant so much to her,
said Alana Stewart.
In 2016, the FFF supported efforts in Dallas for the American Cancer Society's Gene and Jerry Jones Family Hope Lodge, naming a suite in Farrah's honor. These fundraising efforts were spearheaded by long-time Dallas local and FFF supporter John Terlingo, of Terlingo Cycle. The facility, located on Baylor University Medical Center's campus through a collaboration with Baylor Scott & White Health, provides a safe and peaceful place for patients and their caregivers to stay during treatment at any local treatment center.
The FFF is excited to continue its partnership with the American Cancer Society and Dallas Cattle Baron's Ball. Proceeds from the event will benefit the important work of this facility, which strives to provide 18,000 nights of free lodging each year. Funds raised will also benefit the FFF's collaboration with Stand Up to Cancer, which funds HPV-related cancer research. The biennial Tex-Mex Fiesta was first held in 2015 and has raised almost $3 million for the cause.
