WHEN: Friday, August 13, 2010
WHERE: Hilton Americas Houston
On Friday, August 13, 2010, the Pearland Neighborhood Center (PNC) will be hosting its annual gala to raise money for the center. The Pearland Neighborhood Center is a non-profit very close to my heart. I have been active in fundraising for the PNC for several years now. In 2008, I was honored to be named Queen of the Pearland Neighborhood Center - what an awarding experience!
If you are not already aware of what exactly the center does - let me tell you. The Pearland Neighborhood Center is Pearland’s only multi-service facility. Established in 1987, its mission statement is “to provide a foundation of effective services and responsive programs to facilitate the development of individuals and families”.
Prior to 1987, the city of Pearland had virtually no health or human service agencies to service the needs of its citizens. A group of community volunteers organized and implemented an extensive study to determine the need and feasibility of providing services to northern Brazoria County.
Pearland Neighborhood Center maintains a food pantry providing low income families with small children and senior citizens in the community some of the staples they need such as canned goods, breads, and other non-perishables. Special community food drives throughout the year help to fill the pantry shelves.
While the PNC does receive grants from the United Way of Brazoria County, the annual gala provides additional funding to help with their programing. Thiis year’s annual gala theme "Black Tie and Boots: A Texas Gala." Its going to be a great event and I encourage you all to support this wonderful community organization. For more information, please contact the Pearland Neighborhood Center at 281-485-1987. See you there!
