What
is Charity Chicks Houston?
We're
glad you asked!
The
Short Answer
Charity
Chicks Houston is a slew of chicks (and even some guys) in Houston that
get
together to do charitable work for various non-profit organizations.
The group was founded in December 2008 and has been doing
great things all across town ever since!

The
Long Answer
Tam’ra
and Jayme (the
founders)
got the
great idea from Charity
Chicks Orlando (unaffiliated,
but a truly inspiring group of women) and then added
their own
flair to the group here in Houston. The inspiration, however,
came from the two gals (who also happen to be co-workers at
their full-time jobs) gabbing on and on about how volunteering and
fundraising can
and should be fun, while throwing a little bit of
networking and mingling into the mix.
We
get together throughout the year for a host of reasons and causes.
Charity
Chicks Houston plans one event per quarter (and maybe a few
others sprinkled in throughout the year)
to support a local (and sometimes even national) charity either by
volunteering or raising money - or
both! The group
exists for three fundamental reasons: to encourage Houstonians to
donate time or money to help the charities we promote, to raise
awareness of non-profits that need and deserve recognition (because not
all of us have a ton of money to donate every single month), and to
network with like-minded individuals with open hearts.
Aside
from
planning our own shin-digs, we
also attend and help with other activities throughout the year to
continue to
promote the plethora of charitable events in the great city of Houston. We also get together every
so often for no reason
other than to enjoy the occasional happy hour and dish about life's
happenings.
The
events we choose to attend or plan and the organizations we choose to
support
vary throughout the year based on current situations and the passion of
our
members. We
are not
affiliated with any particular
non-profit organizations...we do not get paid for the support we
provide…we are just
Charity Chicks.
