The Irving City Council meeting on May 1, 2025, highlighted a significant community initiative as Hailey Patel from BAPS Charities announced the organization’s first annual charity walk in Frisco. Scheduled for June 1, 2025, at Kaleidoscope Park, the event aims to benefit the American Legion, a prominent veterans' organization with over 1.6 million members dedicated to supporting those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Patel emphasized the importance of community involvement, inviting residents and council members to participate in the walk. "Your presence and support would mean the world to us," she stated, underscoring the event's dual purpose of promoting a healthier lifestyle while fostering a spirit of service.

The meeting also featured an invocation by Pastor Brian Hale, who prayed for wisdom and guidance for the council members as they navigate the challenges of governance. His remarks reinforced the significance of community and civic responsibility, setting a thoughtful tone for the evening.

As the city gears up for this charitable event, the council's support and community engagement are expected to play a crucial role in its success, further strengthening the bonds within Irving.
