Legacy Tea: Brewing Infinite Possibilities

NOVEMBER 10, 2024
This was a remarkable celebration of 25 years of service dedicated to uplifting children and families in need. This signature event seamlessly blended elegance and purpose, bringing together an inspiring community of supporters who helped raise over $200,000 to fund vital programs and initiatives.

We were honored to have ABC 13 award-winning journalist Melanie Lawson as our event host, Tina Knowles as our distinguished honorary chair, and an insightful keynote address from Dr. Ruth Simmons. We also proudly recognized our esteemed Legacy Award honorees for their outstanding contributions.

A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, donors, guests, and dedicated fundraising committee for making this 25th Anniversary celebration an extraordinary success. Your generosity continues to create lasting change in the lives of those we serve.​

Take a look!

A Huge Thank You to All of Our 2024 Sponsors​

Together, we’re taking steps to uplift and empower Houston children.
