Dear Friend of the League:

On Friday, February 2 and Saturday, February 3, 2018, The Junior League of Houston, Inc. will host the 70th Annual Charity Ball – Une Belle Nuit. This event celebrates the beauty the League creates in the lives of those it touches and the beautiful partnerships the League is part of throughout the Greater Houston Area. On behalf of the League, the Board of Directors, and the Charity Ball Committee, we invite you to partner with the League as an underwriter for the 2018 Charity Ball.

The Junior League of Houston has honored its history of community service by recognizing both volunteers and donors at Charity Ball for seventy years. More than 600 guests attend the black-tie event, which features a cocktail reception, seated dinner, one-of-a-kind live show, auction and dancing. The Charity Ball, the League’s largest annual fundraiser, raises critical funds to develop and maintain volunteer projects.

Since 1925, the Junior League of Houston has partnered with organizations to deliver services and assistance directly to those in need, delivering positive change through the efforts of its highly trained and empowered female volunteers. In 2017 – 2018, more than 1,400 dedicated volunteers, 82 percent of whom work outside of the home, will contribute over 100,000 hours of service in the Houston community through the League’s 38 community projects and other volunteer initiatives. The mentoring relationships fostered within many of these community projects and between League members cultivate civic leadership and a tradition of service. This legacy of service is made possible by the generosity of donors like you.

Thank you for your interest and commitment to making a difference in this community. We are grateful for your support and hope you will join us as an underwriter for Une Belle Nuit, allowing the League to continue in its mission of “Building A Better Community.”
