Food, fashion aid children’s charities
Like to shop? Like to eat? Well, Speedway Children’s Charities-Texas Chapter is giving those who enjoy fashion and food an opportunity to do both while also raising money for North Texas non-profit organizations that support children in need.
The SCC-Texas Chapter will feature a pair of August events beginning with the “Kendra Gives Back Party” at the Kendra Scott store in Southlake Town Center on Aug. 9 and culminating with the Chefs in the Fast Lane presented by the City of Roanoke at Texas Motor Speedway on Aug. 12.
“We are incredibly excited about these two events and the potential financial support they will generate for our local non-profit groups,” said Marissa Chaney, executive director of the SCC-Texas Chapter. “We are proud to be connected with Kendra Scott and all the amazing philanthropic work that she and her company do as well as host what is sure to be a very fun and tasty competition with some of the area’s top chefs.”
On Aug. 9, from 5-8 p.m., the Kendra Scott store located at 321 Grand Avenue West in Southlake will donate 20 percent of its sales revenue during this timeframe to the SCC-Texas Chapter.
Purchases must be made in store or over the phone; online orders will not be accepted as this fundraiser is a store-specific contribution.
Kendra Scott, who opened her first retail store in Austin in 2010, has created a brand and culture that authentically values giving back and making a positive difference in the community. The Kendra Scott company maintains a focus on its customers and the causes close to their hearts, abiding by the mantra “What Matters to You, Matters to Us.”
The Chefs in the Fast Lane presented by the City of Roanoke will be Aug. 12, from 3-6 p.m. in the Luxury Suites at Texas Motor Speedway. This cooking competition has local chefs and restaurants serving their gourmet creation of choice in sample sizes to attendees. At the close of the event, all guests will get to vote for their favorite chef, who will be crowned the 2018 Chefs in the Fast Lane champion and be given a trophy to display in their restaurant for the year.
The event also will have a silent auction that includes packages and other items donated by the participating chefs. The participating chefs scheduled to compete are Chris Fersch (Billy Bob’s Texas), Ken Patrick (Ken Patrick Spice Rubs and Food Network champion), Alex Ayala (The Owner’s Box), Lincoln Engstrom (Levy Restaurants at Texas Motor Speedway) and Erika Bridges (Confections in Cake).
Tickets to attend the event are $75 each or $125 for a pair.
Tickets to the competition and all silent auction item proceeds will go directly to the Speedway Children’s Charities-Texas Chapter.

Nocona is welcoming back Coach Sandy Langford, former coach and alumnus for the Lady Indians, as its new volleyball head coach.
Langford comes back to Nocona after spending the past 11 years leading the Glen Rose volleyball program.
Her circumstances with her family allowed her to jump at the opportunity once she became aware the position at Nocona was available.
“My youngest graduated and is playing football at Midwestern (State University),” Langford said. “All of our family is here and I knew that Coach Kara (Lucherk) was leaving. We were eventually going to retire here. Our oldest son plays college football at West Texas A&M and we’ll be two hours closer to him as well.”
She again will lead the Lady Indians volleyball program, one that she led all the way to the state title game in 2011, which is the farthest the volleyball program has ever gone in its prestigious history.
Langford kept up that level of success during her 11 years at the bigger 4A Glen Rose. She won less than 20 games only twice during her time, winning her 500th career game back in 2023. Her teams were ranked among the top 10 in the state five times and Langford led Glen Rose to the state tournament in 2017, the best finish in program history.
With the Lady Indians also having its own string of success, appearing in back-to-back regional finals while finishing atop the district standings both years, Langford is excited to not just keep the success going, but shoot for the stars.
“We are not expecting anything less than a state championship,” Langford said.
She has stacked the non-district schedule with strong, state-ranked 3A and 4A teams as well as big tournaments that will test Nocona’s mettle early next season in the hopes it will prepare them for a long playoff run.
