FUNDING OUR MIS SION
Our fundraising events are a vital source of funds that allow
our mission and programs room to grow. In 2020, like so many
other organizations, it broke our hearts to cancel them due
to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the beginning of 2021, in the
interest of keeping people safe, we made the decision to host
our first (and hopefully only) Virtual Gala in May. Digitally
emceed by KPRC2’s Khambrel Marshall, the livestreamed
event allowed us to connect with our community, even as we
all stayed apart. Over the summer, as case numbers dropped
and CDC guidance changed, we chose to hold our Moreton
Achievement Awards Luncheon and Goodwill Houston Golf
Classic in person. With extra precautions in place, we were
thrilled to see our friends, supporters, and community in
person after nearly two years. We could not thrive in the
Houston community without a network of individuals and
organizations lifting us up and giving us the tools to succeed.
Thank you!
