Alumni Club of Dallas/Fort Worth

The Kellogg Alumni Club of Dallas/Ft. Worth, in cooperation with Northwestern Alumni Club DFW, hosted the fifth annual Summer Soiree on Aug. 28. Nearly 120 alumni and friends attended Casino Night at the luxurious Deux Lounge in Dallas. Attendees included new Kellogg Club DFW senior adviser Marty Ellen EMP-14, executive vice president and CFO of the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group. The annual social event doubled as a fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters (Lone Star), the youth mentoring organization. Kellogg Club president Sean Lofgren ’01 chaired the fundraising efforts, including silent and live auctions, which resulted in a donation to BBBS of $16,500.
