The Goal is in The H.E.A.R.T. Luncheon
This year marks H.E.A.R.T.’s 20th anniversary! Come celebrate with us at our upcoming “The Goal is in the H.E.A.R.T. Luncheon”, honoring our annual MVP H.E.A.R.T. Trainees and our “Making Change, Changing Hearts” awardees Juan and Isela Garcia.
Juan is the Chairman of the Board for the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority, and both Juan and Isela are lifetime members of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Houston sports venues have long been supporters of job-sites for H.E.A.R.T. trainees, and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is one of H.E.A.R.T.’s most loyal supporters.
We have reached this important milestone thanks to YOU, our generous community of supporters. Your attendance and support of this event will enable us to continue fulfilling our mission of creating jobs for individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD). We hope to see you on May 19th!
