Clients with a Cause: Wishing at Perry’s

We love working for clients who give back to their community, and can’t help but give a shout out to the folks at Perry’s Restaurants, who will be teaming up this Thursday with the Bay Area Chi Omega Alumnae Chapter to host their annual Rock’n Wishes event.

 

The event will take place with the trademark Perry’s flair – succulent five-course meals, live music, silent auction and margaritas, but with the focus on the heart of Perry’s: helping grant the wishes of Houston-area children coping with life threatening medical conditions through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

In the past five years of hosting, Perry’s has helped raise over $200,000 for the foundation and local children. This year Houston-area kids Angelina, Julia, Cooper and Nicole all have wished for a trip to Disney World, and the team at Perry’s is ready to outdo themselves and break donation records. If you have a soft place in your heart for these kiddos or know someone in the Clear Lake area who may be want to attend, spread the news so we can send them to Orlando!

If you’re interested in attending and helping Perry’s support Make-A-Wish, visit the Perry’s Houston Facebook page here to see the full invitation for details.

Getting Squared

At MMI we know that building relationships with our clients and developing trust is everything. For me, that is most evident in working with our client Planned Community Developers (PCD) – a relationship that Cindy Marion began over 20 years ago. The misconception in our industry with a relationship this long is that it leads to stagnation. I would argue the opposite – it is because of our long partnership and mutual trust and respect that PCD trusts us enough to let us do innovative and amazing things on their behalf. We recently worked with them to create a social media video for Sugar Land Town Square, where a giant talking Square interacted with community members and caught them on candid camera. The result is fun and entertaining and really shows off the wonderful atmosphere and people in Town Square.

As Houstonians gear up to attend the city’s inaugural Houston Art Fair, they may find themselves surprised to be strolling past a more familiar Houston fixture at this international event. The Portable On Demand Art Project called on local artists to uniquely transform a PODS® container into a work of art. The P.O.D.A. Container created by The BOX 13 ArtSpace will be featured alongside internationally known artists from Europeon and Latin American galleries, as well as some of Houston’s favorites.
The BOX 13 ArtSpace artists worked collaboratively and independently to create a time capsule of culturally significant artifacts, transforming their unit into a Box of Curiosities. These objects reference both true and imagined knowledge of local history, science, geography, space exploration, medicine and beyond and showcases our city as a vibrant arts and cultural capital and museum mecca for locals and visitors alike.
The Houston Arts Alliance, PODS® Houston and Box 13 ArtSpace are proud to be a part of this exciting Bayou City event.

Clients Who Inspire Us

Supporting our friends at the MD Anderson Proton Therapy Center to help spread the word about proton therapy is inspiring. Nearly every week, we meet with survivors, patients and families from all over the U.S., like Coleson Young and Kate McCrae, and hear their amazing stories of strength and survival.

Not only is public relations a great tool for sharing this news, it is particularly effective because it lets the work MD Anderson does speak for itself.

Everyone has such an uplifting story to tell. One common theme that rings true throughout our interaction with these families and the stories they share is that they couldn’t be happier about choosing MD Anderson and proton therapy. Listening to their struggles and triumphs is awe-inspiring.  It’s clients like these that fuel my passion for what we do at MMI.
