Plaza at Preston Center's Annual Plaza Days
 

The Plaza at Preston Center recently hosted its annual Plaza Days on April 24th and 25th, enabling shoppers to take advantage of family friendly activities and deep discounts from Plaza retailers. During Plaza Days the center also sold raffle tickets for the chance to drive a brand new Volkswagen EOS Convertible for two weeks, courtesy of Metro Volkswagen.

All proceeds from raffle ticket sales benefited the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB), a nonprofit organization that passionately pursues a hunger-free community through distributing food to feeding and education programs in North Texas.

Several retailers in the center including Kid Biz/The Biz, New Balance DFW and The Cultured Cup, also worked to raise money for NTFB by donating a portion of their sales from the weekend to the organization. The Plaza at Preston Center matched the amount of money raised for NTFB from raffle sales and donations from stores, bringing the grand total to $3,278 raised for a great cause, providing over 13,000 meals for those in need in North Texas! In a later presentation North Dallas resident, Jackie Stroh, was given the keys to her new convertible for two weeks and a check was presented to Amy Pritts, new business and partnership development coordinator for the NTFB.
