about the luncheon
Since 1998, the Angels of Hope Luncheon and Fashion Presentation by Neiman Marcus has grown to be one of Houston’s premier events. It kicks off the holiday season and benefits Houston’s most severely abused and neglected children. The Luncheon was created to honor the countless angels who have guided Child Advocates in infinitely different ways and to raise funds to continue Child Advocates’ vital work.
Your support and generosity will help ensure that more of Houston’s foster children have hope for a brighter future.

about child advocates
Every 8 minutes, a child in Texas experiences abuse or neglect. On any given day, there are approximately 2,000 children in the Houston area who have experienced such life-threatening abuse or neglect that they had to be removed from their homes and placed in foster care. Child Advocates trains everyday people to advocate for the best interests of these children in court so they can find safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible. While the advocates, who give their time and voices to our children, are at the heart of our mission - none of this critical work can be done without our donors who give so generously to our mission.
