PHILANTHROPY

The Phillips family

of Dallas, Texas is one of the Southwest's most prominent and respected families. Not only are they known for their accomplishments in business, but also for their philanthropic commitment to their community. They give generously to both educational and cultural institutions. For example, Gene and his wife, Roxanne, have long been patrons of the arts, supporting the symphony and the Dallas Grand Opera where he also served as a director. They are also strong supporters of health organizations such as, Nexus Recovery Center, KidneyTexas Inc. and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

LOCAL COMMUNITY

Believing that donors get more out of their contributions if they are able to help create and design a project rather than just give money, Gene Phillips began buying land in Farmers Branch over a decade ago. The idea was to one day create a vibrant new urban environment. What is now Mercer Crossing, a 1,250-acre residential and commercial development, is the last remaining tract of undeveloped land available in the Central Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. The project includes a 50-acre public park that encourages family picnics, stroller walks, exercise trails, meeting areas and a large lake with numerous fountains. This park is one-of-a-kind and there is nothing like it in the Dallas area.
