Each month Galleria Dallas partners with a local charity, organization, or initiative to create a Gallery Wall that displays the organization’s mission.

For the month of April, Galleria Dallas is partnering with Byran’s House. Bryan’s House is a Dallas-based children’s charity that works with medically fragile children in seven North Texas counties. Bryan’s House was founded in 1988, at the peak of the HIV/AIDS crisis and transitioned into the care of at-risk children with special needs. The organization was named after an 8-month-old local boy who was one of the first area children to die from the disease, the organization has served more than 15,000 children. The nonprofit is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year serving children and their families.

“We love that Galleria Dallas helps important nonprofits in North Texas extend their reach, both to families in need of services and to potential donors and volunteers,” said Abigail Erickson-Torres, CEO of Bryan’s House. “We feel incredibly blessed to be able to feature Bryan’s House at the center during our 35th year of helping the children of this community.”

 The Gallery Wall will display the mission of Bryan’s House and call for community members to get involved wwith the organization through financial donations or through volunteer work. The wall, powered by Orchid Giving Circle,  will feature information on how to get help if your family is in need, and will be displayed in four different languages, representing the breadth of cultures the agency serves.

Bryan’s House will also be the charity beneficiary of Galleria Dallas’ spring Alley Market, which takes place April 21-22. At the market, more than a dozen local vendors will sell a unique mix of merchandise in the center’s outdoor Alley near The Blue Fish. 10 percent of the market’s sales will benefit Bryan’s House.

“Bryan’s House has been a powerful force for good in North Texas for 35 years,” said Megan Townsend, Director of Marketing for Galleria Dallas. “We are excited to help build awareness for its worthwhile mission and to support it financially with our Alley Market.”

The Bryan’s House Gallery Wall will be on display for the entire month of April. The Gallery Wall is located on Level 1 across from Apple.
