Belk department store—set to open this weekend at Galleria Dallas—will host a grand opening on April 3 that will benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

The special event will include an appearance by actress Hayden Panettiere (Nashville), who is a brand ambassador for the store, as well as your more standard Dallas party fixtures, including Nancy Brinker, Emmitt and Pat Smith, Kimberly Schlegel Whitman and former Bachelor Jake Pavelka.

In addition to watching a fashion show, all attendees will receive a $25 gift card; five lucky winners will get $1,000 gift card/shopping spree and one lucky guest will win a guitar autographed by Blake Shelton. Tickets are available for a $50 online donation to Susan G. Komen's Passionately Pink for the Cure.
