What we’re planning for the Annual Update

Jennifer Vitera

TDCAF Development Director in Austin

We are gearing up and getting excited for the 4th Annual Foundation Golf Tournament and silent auction set to take place at this year’s Annual Criminal and Civil Law Update on South Padre Island. (The exact location of the tournament will be announced later.) This year we will have an award for the golfer with the craziest outfit, so please pack your plaid golf shirts and green blazers for this year’s event.

      We are asking members to please help the foundation identify corporations and individuals who might be interested in sponsoring the tourney or donating an auction item. Sponsorship levels are:  Platinum, $10,000; Gold, $5,000; Sterling, $2,500; and Bronze, $1,000. Please contact Jennifer Vitera at [email protected] for more information.

DWI Summit

We are excited to present the third DWI Summit, called Guarding Texas Roadways, which is scheduled for November. The Texas District and County Attorneys Association (TDCAA), in cooperation with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc., and Texas District and County Attorneys Foundation (TDCAF), is proud to offer the third DWI Summit. We are asking members to please help the foundation identify corporations and individuals who might be interested in supporting this popular training event. Please contact Jennifer Vitera at [email protected] if there is someone in your area we can send more information to.

Annual Campaign reminder

By now you have received the 2012 Annual Campaign brochure, which is your invitation to be a part of the Texas District and County Attorneys Foundation. The foundation is committed to continuing and improving the excellence TDCAA provides in educating and training Texas prosecutors, law enforcement, and key personnel.

    This year will be our third annual campaign membership fundraising challenge between the investigators, key personnel, and victim assistance coordinators (VACs). Last year the investigators took home the win, earning a free happy hour at Investigator School in February, but 2012 is a new year! As of May, our investigators are in the lead in their fundraising efforts, but there’s lots of time left so it’s not too late for the key personnel or VACs to overtake them!
