The Women's Fund 10th Annual Wine Dinner: Toast to Resilience

The Women’s Fund for Health Education and Resiliency, a nonprofit providing Houston area women and girls with the tools needed to be advocates for their health, is pleased to announce the 10th Annual Wine Dinner on Thursday, April 24, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. at The Astorian, 2500 Summer St., Houston 77007. 

Proceeds from the event support The Women’s Fund programs that serve to educate girls and women in the Houston area through classes, workshops, lectures, and publications focused on physical, mental, financial, emotional, health and wellness. 

Chairs Vanessa and Chuck Ames will welcome guests while honoring the inaugural Toast to Resilience Class – a distinguished group of honorees whose leadership, compassion, and unwavering dedication reflect the very heart of the organization’s mission. Each honoree has championed the resilience of women and girls in the community, inspiring others to rise, thrive, and lead with confidence.

Gina Gaston Elie will be honored with the Resilient Heart Award; Paulina and Jim McGrath with the Visionary Spirit Award; and Chris Shepherd and Lindsey Brown with the Champions of Community Award.

The evening will include an exquisite four-course meal catered by Jackson & Company with wine pairings, a silent auction, big board and live auction. 

The Women’s Fund invites everyone to an extraordinary evening of outstanding entertainment, fine dining, and wine to support the organization’s mission to help more adolescent girls and women lead happier, healthier, and more resilient lives.
