Dallas, Texas — The Planned Parenthood 2016 Annual Awards Luncheon will take place on Monday, April 4 from noon until 1:30 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. The luncheon, Planned Parenthood‘s signature benefit in Dallas, is chaired this year by the powerhouse trio of Amy Isom, Gwen Parker, and Abigail Sinwell, who are promising a special afternoon for attendees and the soon to be announced award recipients.

Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Planned Parenthood Action Fund, and daughter of beloved 45th Governor of Texas Ann Richards, will deliver the keynote address.
