This year’s Milestones Luncheon co-chairs are Alli Eagan and Connie O’Neill.
Russell was named one of People Magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People in the World, but it is clear her beauty shines within as well. She is very involved in philanthropic works and credits becoming a mother for what has made her so passionate about charitable work.
“We are so excited to have Keri Russell join us for this year’s Milestones Luncheon. She has mastered being a phenomenal actress and brings a depth of experience spanning Hollywood to Broadway,” said Eagan said. “She is a woman with range, and her heartfelt nature exudes through her on and off the screen.”
The Milestones Luncheon is an annual fundraiser benefiting the JLD Community Service Fund that supports organizations working to combat critical issues affecting the Dallas community. Proceeds from The luncheon allows the JLD to annually grant approximately $1 million to our partner agencies and signature projects and build a stronger community through leadership development, civic education and hands-on service.
Individual Luncheon tickets are $200 and Patron Luncheon tickets are $350. Tables begin at $2,000. To purchase tables or individual tickets, please contact the JLD Development Office at 214-357-8822 ext. 118 or visit the JLD website.
One of Hollywood’s most sought-after talents on television, the silver screen and now Broadway, Russell has proven she can master it all. She was most recently seen on the critically acclaimed FX series “The Americans,” which completed its six-season run this spring.
For the show, Russell received a Television Critics Association Award for Individual Achievement in Drama, three Emmy nominations, one Golden Globe® nomination, and four Critics’ Choice Award nominations.
Currently, Russell can be seen alongside Adam Driver in the first Broadway revival of Landford Wilson’s “Burn This.” The limited engagement play, directed by Tony Award winner Michael Mayer, opened in March 2019 and runs through July 2019.
