Houston Holiday Heroes 2022
Join Heroes for Children in making a memorable Holiday experience for families in Texas who have a child battling cancer.
Sunday, December 4, 2022 ~ Studio Movie Grill
Due to rising costs and feedback from our hospital partners, we will not be fulfilling gift wish lists this year. Instead, we will be accepting gift card donations and goodie bag donations to fulfill our mission of providing financial assistance to families battling childhood cancer. Be a "Holiday Heroes" partner and help us make the event extra special for the families.
Our local hospitals have nominated families who are experiencing a deep financial strain and who would benefit from a fun afternoon with their family, away from their everyday battle with cancer. Each family who attends will be treated to a holiday party with other cancer families, a generous gift card to be used by the family to purchase holiday gifts and each will also receive a family gift.
With your help, we will be able to go above and beyond in helping serve these families during the holidays. Below are 3 ways you can help us add to the experience. No shopping required!
