Dear Friend, In 1925, deep in the heart of Texas, 12 determined women founded The Junior League of Houston, Inc. with the mission of promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. These women forged a path forward so that almost 100 years later, the Junior League’s outreach efforts still focus on critical issues within the Houston community. This year, the Junior League’s members, patrons and donors will return home to the League after spending the past year apart. The League provides trained volunteers and funding to 33 community projects as well as additional outreach efforts including community assistance grants, innovative community collaborations and other impactful community events. Further, the League’s extensive training and education program cultivates a lifetime of civic service, preparing members to serve as agents of change in the Houston community well beyond their active membership years. The 74th annual Charity Ball The Road Home will be held on Friday, February 4 and Saturday, February 5, 2022. To ensure the Junior League of Houston continues to serve our beloved city, we invite you to donate a once-in-a-lifetime experience, a piece of unique memorabilia, a gift certificate or any other item that would enhance The Road Home silent auction, night-of experience and wine and/or liquor pull. No item is too big or too small for donation! Additionally, opportunities are available to underwrite portions of the auction or the event. Donations to the auction from businesses and individuals like yourself increase excitement and bidding participation from attendees. Your contribution is vital to the success of the mission of the League. Thank you for your support of the Junior League of Houston and The Road Home .

Dear Friend,

In 1925, deep in the heart of Texas, 12 determined women founded The Junior League of Houston, Inc. with the mission of promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. These women forged a path forward so that almost 100 years later, the Junior League’s outreach efforts still focus on critical issues within the Houston community.

This year, the Junior League’s members, patrons and donors will return home to the League after spending the past year apart. The League provides trained volunteers and funding to 33 community projects as well as additional outreach efforts including community assistance grants, innovative community collaborations and other impactful community events. Further, the League’s extensive training and education program cultivates a lifetime of civic service, preparing members to serve as agents of change in the Houston community well beyond their active membership years.

The 74th annual Charity Ball – The Road Home will be held on Friday, February 4 and Saturday, February 5, 2022. To ensure the Junior League of Houston continues to serve our beloved city, we invite you to donate a once-in-a-lifetime experience, a piece of unique memorabilia, a gift certificate or any other item that would enhance The Road Home silent auction, night-of experience and wine and/or liquor pull. No item is too big or too small for donation! Additionally, opportunities are available to underwrite portions of the auction or the event.

Donations to the auction from businesses and individuals like yourself increase excitement and bidding participation from attendees. Your contribution is vital to the success of the mission of the League. Thank you for your support of the Junior League of Houston and The Road Home.

Gratefully,
