Dec My Room kicked up some boots Friday, September 30, 2022, hosting its 5th annual Kick Up Your Boots for Kids at the House of Blues…

Dec My Room had a fantastic time kicking off at Dell Children’s Medical Center in Austin, Texas on June 1st. A team of 10 volunteers decorated 8 patient rooms with themes from Spiderman and dinosaurs for a 6 year old, all the unicorns and princesses for a 3 year old and two 4 year olds (popular theme!), Honduran futbol, motorcycles and wrestling for a 17 year old, lady bugs for a 13 year old, Legos and Super Mario for a 10 year old! So fun to personalize each space!

After a two-year hiatus, the annual Room To Grow event took over the Neiman Marcus courtyard at NorthPark Centre with joyous energy. The attired matched the sentiment — bright neon, floral prints, and elegant heels filled the leafy space, dotted with elegant tables set for spring. Guests mingled, sipped a refreshing signature drink made with Mijenta tequila, and placed their bets on an expansive silent auction — which, naturally, included copious amounts of NorthPark gold.

Dec My Room’s 15th Anniversary was kicked off in 2022 with our annual Let’s Do Lunch – a Galentine’s theme on February 10, 2022. The luncheon was held at Federal American Grill – Hedwig Village and was highlighted by pop-up shopping, courtesy of Lauren Craft Collection, The Pajama Princess, Kelly K Designs, Haute & Cool Chocolates and Out of the Box.

Dallas Director, Karen Michelwicz, was interviewed on creating personalized, creative healing rooms for hospitalized children and teens.

On Wednesday, April 17, Room To Grow Luncheon Co-Chairs Kristi Bare admitted that the night before she had had second thoughts about moving the Dec My Room fundraiser the next day. Originally scheduled at NorthPark’s Neiman Marcus Courtyard, they had heeded weather warnings and moved it indoor to the Center’s South Court.

The mother daughter duo of Susan and Kendall Plank are still very active and involved in all areas of Dec My Room. It holds their passion, and they love being able to see the direct impact their “one-time idea” has on both pediatric patients and their loved ones. They are very excited to be currently working on Dec My Room’s largest annual fundraiser, Kick Up Your Boots for Kids, on Tuesday, February 5, 2019 at the Redneck Country Club.
