Upcoming Events

❤️Advance ER Supports the 28th Annual Katy 5K and Friends of the Katy Trail   
Hosted by Friends of the Katy Trail, this beloved event brings together thousands of runners, walkers, families, and local businesses to celebrate wellness, community, and the preservation of one of Dallas’s most treasured outdoor spaces—the Katy Trail.

This year, Advance ER is especially honored to have Dr. Larry Pettit and his band, The Rust Band, performing live at the event. Dr. Pettit is not only a highly respected board-certified emergency physician with more than 25 years of experience, but also a talented musician whose passion for community engagement reflects the heart of our organization.

The Katy 5K is much more than a race—it is a celebration of health, connection, and Dallas community spirit. Proceeds from the event help Friends of the Katy Trail maintain and enhance the 3.5-mile urban trail that serves as a premier destination for recreation, wellness, and alternative transportation in the heart of the city.  

At Advance ER, we believe caring for our community extends far beyond our walls. Whether supporting local nonprofits, participating in charitable events, or providing 24/7 emergency care to Dallas families, our mission remains the same: to be there when our community needs us most.

We are honored to support the Katy 5K and celebrate alongside thousands of Dallas residents at one of the city’s most anticipated annual traditions   

✨Nourishing Families, Supporting Hope: Advance ER and the Ronald McDonald House   
Advance ER is proud of our ongoing commitment to the Rotary Club of Park Cities and the Ronald McDonald House by preparing meals for families of hospitalized children on the third Monday of every

 month. We aim to provide comfort and care to families during an incredibly challenging time, and we are grateful for the opportunity to serve our community

It is a privilege to contribute our time and compassion to an organization that brings warmth, support, and hope when it is needed most. This ongoing community partnership is one of the many ways we continue to demonstrate our commitment to caring for families beyond our walls.

🎁Community Giving: Advance ER Partners with Community Partners of Dallas   
Advance ER is proud to partner with Community Partners of Dallas (CPD) in support of their mission to restore safety, dignity, and comfort to children who have experienced abuse, neglect, or trauma.

Each year, thousands of children across Dallas County enter CPS care—often arriving with little more than the clothes they are wearing. Through CPD’s emergency assistance programs, caseworkers are able to quickly provide children with new essentials, including clothing, shoes, hygiene items, toys, school supplies, and backpacks filled with comforting items designed to ease the fear of entering an unfamiliar environment. For a child removed from a dangerous or unstable situation, the first hours can be overwhelming. Having something soft, warm, and truly their own can make a powerful difference.   

As part of our ongoing commitment, Advance ER provides monthly donations of comfort items for children who have been abused or neglected. These include backpacks filled with glow-in-the-dark blankets and pillows—items chosen not only for their practicality, but for the reassurance they bring. These comfort items offer warmth when a child has no personal belongings, a sense of security in unfamiliar surroundings, and a bit of wonder through glow-in-the-dark stars and patterns that help children feel less alone at night. For many, this becomes the first stable possession they have during a frightening and uncertain time.   

Through these donations, Advance ER is honored to help CPD ensure every child receives something new, comforting, and meaningful—a small but powerful reminder that they are valued, cared for, and never alone.   

Exciting announcement: We are honored to have Dr. Petit featured as the April 2026 “Donor of the Month” with Community Partners of Dallas!   
 

Advance ER will also be distributing Change Is Good jars for families to collect spare change throughout the year. These donations support CPD’s programs that provide immediate resources and comfort to children entering CPS care. This holiday contribution represents the heart of Advance ER: showing up when it matters most, not only for our patients, but for the vulnerable children in our community.
