“Maybe we find that one Picasso in the group.”
Meg Bittner
Executive Director
SPARK! Dallas
.…on the nonprofit’s recent SPARKtacular fundraising event—and its mission to help thousands of children each year learn about creativity.
Last Thursday, SPARK! Dallas—a nonprofit that aims to ignite creativity in children through a fully immersive, hands-on learning environment—celebrated its 10th anniversary with a SPARKtacular fundraiser event. More than 160 guests attended, bid on silent auction items, and enjoyed appetizers and beverages at the home of Leigh and Bryce Williams. The goal: Raise funds to help children learn about creativity. And as today’s Last Word shows, SPARK! Dallas Executive Director Meg Bittner has high hopes for what that mission could lead to.
“There are two questions I want to answer for you,” Bittner told the attendees. “First WHY—why we are here. We raise money for scholarships for free or discounted rates to help children take field trips to learn about creativity seeing over 18,000 children a year. Maybe we find that one Picasso in the group. The second is HOW. You are the how to continue the creative process by your gifts. Thank you for helping us create that ‘spark’ in children.”
At one creative station at the fundraiser, attendees had their individual photos taken. then matched them up with their birthday and colors to be added to an original artwork collage created for the event.
Event Co-Chairs were Nell and Shelby Bush and Carol and Sam Dalton. Guitarist Matt Brooks played current and favorite hits.

The southern half of Dallas County is home to just over 1.05 million residents. That’s about 40% of the total number of people who call Dallas County home—and roughly 200,000 more than the entire population of San Francisco. Coupled with the fact that Dallas-Fort Worth is emerging as a top life science market, as documented in a 2023 CBRE report, you can see why the DeSoto Development Corp. is including an 80-acre Life Sciences Innovation Core among its major projects. “In terms of economic development, research shows that it’s more effective when it happens regionally,” says Matt Carlson, DDC's chief…
