Byers Family Foundation in honor of Dana Regester

Dana Michelle Regester, an alumna of Tyler Junior College, grew up in the Tyler area and graduated from Robert E. Lee High School. She pursued her higher education at TJC and earned an Associate of Applied Science degree. She majored in merchandising management.

Dana was married to her husband, Jim Regester, the day after graduation in February 1994. She was passionate about her husband, their three children, The Brook Hill School, and the School’s soccer team. As a faithful member of Flint Baptist Church, she continually ministered to those in need.

This endowment honors her caring, kind spirit and dedication to serving others, including her family, community, and the many lives that she positively impacted through her work at The Brook Hill School.

The Byers Family Foundation is a private philanthropic organization based in Tyler, Texas. Established by founding members Lewie and Elaine Byers, the foundation focuses its grant-making on education, healthcare, human services, and arts and culture in the East Texas region.
