Description

For over a quarter of a century, Houston Children’s Charity has been dedicated to improving the quality of life for Greater Houston’s underprivileged, abused, and disabled children who have been otherwise left behind. HCC is more than just a nonprofit organization. WE ARE A FAMILY.  

Our 27th Annual Gala will return to a Saturday night this year, as preparations are underway for the October 19, 2024 black tie affair at The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston. Please join PORSCHE River Oaks and PORSCHE West Houston in the intimate setting of the Grand Ballroom as we honor one of Houston’s most magnanimous & philanthropic couples, Jana & Richard Fant. 

From an economy recovering from a pandemic to celebrating a World Series, there is nothing quite like the support of a Houstonian. Our vision must remain focused and steadfast. We need you more than ever to help our special kids' programs thrive and be successful. For the past several years, through your profound generosity, we tackled our biggest mountains yet.  These children are our #1 priority!

As a valued supporter, we cordially invite you to help us provide crucial resources to our programs that benefit countless children in our community. We are looking to have extraordinary luxury items to bolster our Big Board auction. Would you consider donating a fabulous item to our Big Board auction? With your help, we can improve the circumstances for Greater Houston’s underprivileged, abused, and disabled children, who might otherwise be left behind. 

I know that this is a bit early for an “ask,” but Houston Children’s Charity is only as good as those who help us help our children. We become powerless if we get complacent. I cannot tell you how much sleep I’ve lost at night from the anxiety that someone will say “no”– our kids need you more than ever!  This is THE PARTY that you don’t want to miss being a part of! 

Words cannot express our gratitude to you. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Warm regards,

Laura S. Ward
