Photos by Jeda rrian Jones \n \n \n \n The focus of North Texas Givi ng Day will be on groups that are influencing their communities’ futures . The Cedar Hill Action Team (C.H.A.T.)\, under the direction of Executive Director Clara McGinnis\, is one of them. By providing educational\, recr eational\, and wellness opportunities that foster growth and a sense of be longing\, C.H.A.T. enhances Cedar Hill’s fabric through programs for bot h young people and senior individuals. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This project has a very personal core. Clara remembers the night a young boy knocked on her door after 10:30 p.m. in search of food. She was aware of the difficulties fami lies encounter in meeting basic needs because she was a working single par ent. “God showed me that I had to do something for the kids in the commu nity\,” she says. Out of that moment came a calling—and the foundation for C.H.A.T. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n In Cedar Hill\, Texas\, the nonprofit now provi des services to both young people and the elderly. C.H.A.T. offers educati onal support\, mentorship\, recreation\, meals\, and wellness resources th rough collaborations with the Cedar Hill Independent School District\, an active presence at the Alan E. Sims Recreation Center\, and participation in neighborhood events. In addition to providing for immediate needs\, the ir initiatives create connections within the community and pave the road f or long-term success. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n North Texas Giving Day offers C.H.A.T. e xposure\, interaction\, and the opportunity to increase impact. Donations support the nonprofit’s operating expenses\, enabling them to continue m eaningfully serving Cedar Hill’s youth and seniors through matching gift s and increased community awareness. Contributions this year will directly support C.H.A.T.’s purpose of community cohesion and personal growth\, whether it be through senior wellness programming\, academic mentoring\, o r recreation. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Visit C.H.A.T.’s website and social media pag es to find out more or to get involved in helping to create a more resilie nt Cedar Hill for future generations. cedarhillactionteam.org facebook.com /chtxchat instagram.com/cedarhillactionteam https://www.youtube.com/channe l/UC5a8_ux5-qkB9L5TRYsJAtw125% \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n PrevPreviousAngie’s Friends LAST-MODIFIED:20260911T060548Z URL:https://dallasdoinggood.com/event/tango-charities-feed-the-country-sur prise-concert/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=dallas- tx X-SOURCE-NAME:Dallas Doing Good X-SOURCE-URL:https://dallasdoinggood.com/events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:FREE CONCERT: Blue Tongue w/ Patrick Pombuena Community Orchestra DTSTART:20260920T001000Z DTEND:20260920T030000Z DTSTAMP:20260911T060050Z UID:10000291-1789845000-1789855200@levittpavilionarlington.org CATEGORIES:free,music DESCRIPTION:7:10 PM – Levitt Youth Spotlight presented by Texas Trust Cr edit Union \n7:30 PM – Patrick Pombuena Community Orchestra \nThe Patric k Pombuena Community Orchestra aims to give a fun and inclusive platform t o local musicians. I reach out to different artists for each show so that they can bring their own unique style to the stage. \n8:30 PM – Blue Ton gue  \nAustin-based funk fusion collective Blue Tongue’s music is serve d with equal parts funk\, psych and electrifying live performances. Now fo r the average band\, “electrifying” means solid musical chops and mayb e a few jumps. But if you’re irrepressible Blue Tongue frontman Tre Pham (guitar\, vocals)\, it also includes actual gymnastics of the backflip an d splits nature. The rhythm section boasts drummer Hunter Thompson’s mas tery of jazz influenced groove\, and Rowan Smoot’s muscular slap bass ar tistry. The ensemble is completed with Savannah Thieme’s buoyant synth t extures\, the hilariously virtuosic David Thal on trumpet\, the effortless ly smooth Trevor Gonzales on tenor saxophone\, the sonic power of Jeremy H owell on baritone sax\, master Latin Percussionist Alex Alco\, and finally the additional colors of guitarist Lee Chavez\, now you have a Show. \nWi th live shows this dynamic\, it’s no surprise that opportunities abound in the form of festivals\, national tours and club shows opening for belov ed acts like Sam Greenfield\, Ghost Funk Orchestra (thrice)\, Here Come th e Mummies\, and Snarky Puppy spin off band Ghost Note. In fact\, a recent west coast tour culminated in a stellar official performance at NAMM (the popular music industry convention) in Anaheim\, as well as after shows for both Vulfpeck and Cory Wong at Stubb’s. \nThe band’s sonic exploratio n is supported by an impressive lineup of endorsements\, including ADV-Sou nd\, Marco Bass Guitars\, and Tsakalis Audioworks. But Blue Tongue’s col laboration with an Austin-based hot sauce company might be their most uniq ue partnership yet\, boasting a limited edition salsa with local salsa mas ters\, Fantastic Fuego\, with whom they produced a blue colored hot sauce called ‘Blumitas’ based on the garlic\, serrano\, habanero\, corn and basil Chilean dish called Humitas.” \nSpunky and self-sufficient\, the b and has their own recording studio where Pham taught himself production an d mixing\, so they could keep creating at will on a modest budget. This ki nd of magnetic tenacity shines through not just in Blue Tongue’s music\, but in their overall approach in navigating their steady ascension. As th e indefatigable Pham sums up\, “Through enough effects pedals\, creatine \, and sheer determination\, anything is possible.” \nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram | Spotify | YouTube | Apple Music | TikTok \nFood Trucks: \nT ortas Y Mas\, \n \nNearly Famous Burger & Wings \n \nFlavor After Flavor LAST-MODIFIED:20260911T060050Z LOCATION:Levitt Pavilion – Arlington\, TX\, 100 W.
