Reaching New Heights Luncheon 2014: Celebration & Aspiration

Thank you to all who attended, supported and participated in our 2014 Reaching New Heights Luncheon at the Houston Country Club! The event raised $84,000 which will directly affect the patients and families we serve – we are so grateful! The luncheon was joyful, reflective and inspiring as we celebrated all that His Grace Foundation has been privileged to do in the past year and all it hopes to do in the future.

Tom Abrahams of ABC13 was our event emcee and shared the story of how he came to be connected with His Grace Foundation through a friendship with a patient family. Lindsey Boggan, the mother of two former BMTU patients, shared how HGF had personally touched her life and given her the encouragement to press on during hard days through small touches of personal kindness and provision. Val Anderson, HGF Executive Director, shared many of our 2014 accomplishments, such as increased housing for outpatient families, a renovated BMTU family room and refurbished His Grace Place. She also encouraged attendees to be a part of helping HGF meet new goals in 2015, goals such as introducing new services specifically tailored to families with infants receiving neonatal care, and enhancing patient exam rooms to make them more child friendly.

Today, we offer you the same opportunity to be a part of helping His Grace Foundation reach new heights on behalf of the patients and families on the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit of Texas Children’s Hospital. As the year draws to a close, will you consider a gift in celebration of all HGF has done with your support this year, and all we hope to do in the year to come? We are forever grateful for your generosity and partnership!
