"Sprinkles" Abby's Artwork

Park Place Dealerships and Children’s Health Teams Up with Children’s Health in Support of its Pediatric Patients

 

Park Place Dealerships and Children’s Health kicked off the “Rev Up Your Creativity” coloring contest in July to bring joy to Children’s Medical Center Dallas and Children’s Medical Center Plano patients.

During “Automotive Week” at Children’s Health, kids of all ages colored their favorite car from the Park Place coloring book or drew a creation of their own to color. After all the entries were received, the community and Park Place Members (employees) voted online for their favorite entry with 11-year-old Abby emerging as the winner.

Abby said she chose the ice cream design for her artwork “Sprinkles” because, “it was really hot outside.”

On September 13, Abby’s artwork was installed in the Children’s Play Area at all nine Park Place dealerships across Dallas-Fort Worth. A ceremony was held at Park Place Lexus Plano honoring the young artist. She was also featured on Park Place Dealerships’ social media channels. She received a goodie bag of special prizes including arts and crafts supplies, a Squishmallow with sprinkles plush toy, four tickets to the Dallas Museum of Art, plus a special Park Place experience as her health and schedule allows. Her family will receive a complimentary detail of their car.

“We’ve partnered with Children’s Health for more than 20 years,” said Kara Connor, Experiential Marketing Manager at Park Place. “We really enjoyed seeing the kids express themselves through their artwork. We hope it brought them as much joy creating it as it did for us!”

In July, more than 20 Park Place Members visited Children’s Medical Center Dallas, the flagship hospital of Children’s Health, to hand out Park Place coloring books featuring luxury vehicles. They also had the opportunity to meet some of the care team and patients. Park Place members also visited the Ryan Seacrest Studios and participated in activities that aired on Children’s Health Red Balloon Network, which was broadcast to patients in their rooms.

Park Place Dealerships donated $15,000 to Children’s in conjunction with the “Rev Up Your Creativity” campaign.

“The Rev Up Creativity patient artwork contest has been an amazing experience for our patient families across our health system,” said Paulette Mulry, vice president of development at Children’s Medical Center Foundation. “We are extremely grateful to Park Place Dealerships for their long standing support of Children’s Health and joining our mission to make life better for children.”

Brandi Wolfe Biggest DQ Fan in Texas

Texas Dairy Queen Operators’ Council Reveals Winner and Four Semi-Finalists

 

Everyone knows that everything’s bigger in Texas. It’s certainly true of the enormous reputation enjoyed by DQ® restaurants in Texas. In fact, Lone Star state residents have been big DQ fans for more than 70 years! Who in Texas isn’t familiar with the Dude® CLASSIC Chick’n Fried Steak Sandwich? Or the Hungr-Buster®? Or the BeltBuster®? Or the Blizzard® Treat? And of course, the truly iconic, world famous vanilla soft-serve.

For generations, DQ restaurants in Texas have been known as one of the big reasons why we’re all so fond of saying, “That’s what I like about Texas!” All that love got us wondering: out of all our great fans, who is the BIGGEST DQ Fan in Texas? 

The Texas Dairy Queen Operators’ Council has been scouring the state to answer that super-important question. The exhaustive search for “The Biggest DQ Fan in Texas” involved hearing stories from fans living everywhere from the Gulf to the Panhandle, and from the bayous of East Texas to the plains of North Texas, and everywhere in between. “Exhaustive” is the right word — 268,596 square miles never looked so huge.

It was an absolute joy hearing from more than 6,700 worthy contenders who emerged from the search. But there can only be one winner. So drumroll, please. Say hello to … Brandi Wolfe of Lumberton, Texas!

“I have lived in my hometown for more than 30 years and Dairy Queen has been my go-to spot since I was a child,” said Brandi Wolfe, the Biggest DQ Fan in Texas. “I went on dates to DQ with my high school sweetheart, who is now my husband, and we love taking our children there which is beyond special in itself. I am ecstatic to be named the Biggest DQ Fan!”

As the Biggest DQ Fan in Texas, Ms. Wolfe receives free Treats & Eats, DQ swag, Josh Abbott items (Josh sings the jingle That’s What I Like About Texas for DQ restaurants in Texas), Dr Pepper® shirts and a fun celebration at her DQ in Lumberton! 

The four semi-finalists are all winners too and include:

-       Aidan (AJ) Adamek of Yoakum, TX 

-       Cassidy Keuhl of Allen, TX

-       Garrett Estes of League City, TX

-       Hannah Baker of Deer Park, TX

The four semi-finalists will receive DQ gift cards, DQ shirts and Dr Pepper swag. 

“We loved hearing all the stories and seeing all the photos from our fans enjoying their favorite Treats & Eats,” said Lou Romanus, CEO of the Texas Dairy Queen Operator’s Council. “And while it was difficult to choose, Brandi Wolfe made a great case for being our number one fan in Texas. We’re thrilled to recognize her passion for everything DQ. We were also impressed with AJ’s passion for our Jalitos and are recognizing him as the Biggest Jalitos Fan in Texas.”

“For the past several years, a group of my close friends and I have made Thursday our official Jalitos meeting day,” said Aidan (AJ) Adamek of Yoakum. “I have been ordering the same meal for so long, the employees know my order by heart. DQ is truly what I like about Texas! I am honored to be named the Biggest Jalitos Fan in Texas.” 

No purchase was necessary to enter or win, and the contest was open to legal residents of Texas, 13 years of age and older. Entries had to be received by 8 am CST on August 6, 2023.

There are few brands as iconic as the DQ brand. Innovative DQ treats and eats, along with the unique DQ restaurant concepts, have positioned DQ restaurants in Texas as a leader in the quick service restaurant industry.
