President's Welcome
Vickie Mitchell
Mid Cities (TX) Chapter President
Since its founding on April 20, 1985, the Mid-Cities (TX) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated has passionately served the communities of Arlington, Grand Prairie, and Irving. For nearly four decades, we have made meaningful contributions and driven impactful programs that uplift and empower these communities. The Links, Incorporated, established in 1946, is a distinguished international, not-for-profit organization of over 17,000 professional women of African descent across 299 chapters in 41 states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, and the United Kingdom. Our mission is centered on enhancing the culture and economic resilience of African Americans and individuals of African ancestry, making The Links one of the most influential volunteer service organizations in the nation. The Mid-Cities (TX) Chapter is honored to be part of this legacy. Through scholarships, youth programs, and grants, we have invested over $125,000 in college-bound young women, advanced STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Math) education for young people, and provided $10,000 in critical COVID-19 relief grants to local frontline organizations. Our community outreach includes initiatives on voter education, kidney health awareness, and human trafficking prevention. For 26 years, our chapter’s signature event, Black Tie Boxing: A Knock-out Affair, united over 700 supporters annually in a powerful celebration of community. This year, we’re excited to debut MCL UNBOXED – A Sparkling Affair, our reimagined fundraiser that promises an evening of elegance, dining, dancing, and entertainment at the Omni Dallas Hotel on Saturday, August 16, 2025. MCL UNBOXED represents the evolution of our past efforts and is the cornerstone of our future fundraising endeavors. We extend our deepest gratitude for your continued support as we forge meaningful friendships and partnerships to strengthen communities and improve lives. Together, we are building a brighter, more equitable future. Warmest regards,
