2025 TRAC Star Celebration

🌟 From Transition to Triumph — Be a Part of the 2025 TRAC Star Celebration! 🌟

On September 30, 2025 at 5:30 PM, join us at the home of Lisa Blue for an inspiring evening celebrating the resilience of North Texas youth—including those aging out of foster or juvenile care and their unhoused peers—as we honor their journeys toward stability, independence, and hope. Each year, TRAC (Transition Resource Action Center) helps over 1,200 young people access housing, education, employment, and healing through long-term, trauma-informed support.

We’re proud to present the TRAC Star Award to Senator Tan Parker for his outstanding advocacy on behalf of youth in care.
