In November, the Dallas Cowboys announced J. Dodge Carter, Treasure Street founder, as a finalist of the 2007 Dallas Cowboys Community Quarterback Award. The Community Quarterback Award is a volunteer recognition and grant program that acknowledges volunteers in the North Texas area who demonstrate leadership, dedication and a commitment to bettering the community. Dodge was nominated for his continued guidance, volunteer work and devotion to Treasure Street and TSRHC.
Inspired by the courage of his daughter and the care she received at TSRHC, with the help of his family, Dodge established Treasure Street in 1996, a fundraising event benefiting the Tuberous Sclerosis Clinic at TSRHC. Raising more than $4.3 million to date, the event is celebrated each October, and in 2007, became the hospital’s premier event, benefiting all children served by the hospital.
Dodge continues to serve as chairman of the Treasure Street board, dedicating countless hours of service to Treasure Street and the hospital. He truly epitomizes a volunteer who exemplifies leadership and has made a significant commitment of his time, intellect and resources to improve the quality of life for children.
