The annual Leap Frog for KinderFrogs Progressive Dinner and Auction was held on September 18 at the homes of Priscilla and Joe Martin, Laura and Dale Ladner and Lauren and Mark Yamagata. The theme this year was Lights! Camera! KinderFrogs! Guests “leaped” from house to house and enjoyed cocktails, appetizers, dinner and dessert. In addition, the guests purchased raffle tickets for a chance to win a TCU tailgate party, rodeo tickets, ultimate golf packages, and spa days.

As the evening concluded, guests had one last opportunity to bid on live auction items that included a trip to Los Angeles for backstage passes to the Dr. Phil show, weekend getaway to New York with dinner at Tavern on the Green and Broadway show tickets. Each year, guests contribute to the scholarship fund for the KinderFrogs School. This year, the scholarship fund raised more than $23,000. The event chair Christine Martin and honorary chair Jean Roach were thrilled with the support and monies raised. The event set a record of net proceeds exceeding $120,000.

The Leap Frog event benefits the KinderFrogs School at TCU, a school for children ages 18 months to six years with Down syndrome and other development delays.
