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.

Perhaps we all have some vague notion of what Breast Cancer Awareness Month is all about, but to me, all of those wonderful things are only half the puzzle.

The hope for awareness is all in the action. Continue reading

They have ads all over the stadium with their Facebook and Twitter information, but more importantly, they have someone who is actively posting to their Facebook and Twitter pages. Here is just one of their many that night:

Since MD Anderson opened the doors to its Regional Care Center in The Woodlands, each physician and staff member has become a part of the community, offering their care and expertise close to home. For this event, we were so glad to help them do something that hits close to home. Continue reading

All of Us

In working with the MD Anderson Regional Care Centers to provide education and share stories of survivorship with their communities, it’s really driven home the fact that cancer does affect all of us. According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in women. More than 182,000 new breast cancer cases in women are expected to occur in the United States this year. Continue reading
