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 panache to the group here in Houston. The inspiration, however, came from the two gals (who also happened to be co-workers at their full-time jobs at the time) 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. And peeps!
