We gathered for an unforgettable night of elegance at our Miracles Masquerade: Unmasking Hope Black Tie Gala.
Special thanks to our amazing Emcee of the evening Alexis Jones. One of the most meaningful moments of the evening came from our keynote speaker, Shawna Keyes, who courageously shared her family’s NICU journey. Her story reminded us why this work matters and why creating spaces of hope, healing, and connection is so important.
Several NICU moms and dads in attendance shared that they desperately needed a night out—a moment to breathe, reconnect, and be poured into after enduring some of life’s most challenging experiences. Hearing that this event was exactly what they needed was a powerful reminder of our purpose.
We were honored to welcome distinguished guests, including Edward Pollard, Rep. Charlene Ward Johnson, Dr. Jacquie Baly, and Candice S. Young, Senior Director of Engagement for Precinct 4. We proudly honored Commissioner Leslie Briones for her commitment to advancing maternal health and improving outcomes for families throughout our community.
We also celebrated and recognized our newest community partner, LBJ Hospital with Harris Health, for their dedication to serving families and supporting NICU parents throughout their journeys.
A special thank you to our sponsors—The Ryan’s Family Foundation, Bellfort Church of Christ, and The Jordan Project—whose support helps make this work possible.
The entertainment was phenomenal! Our incredible band and DJ Skai Shadow kept the energy high and the dance floor full all night long. Year after year, they deliver excellence, and we are grateful for their partnership.
Most importantly, because of your generosity, we raised critical funds to continue supporting NICU families through financial assistance, resources, advocacy, and community programs.
To every attendee, volunteer, donor, sponsor, partner, vendor, and supporter—thank you. You helped create a weekend filled with hope, healing, celebration, and impact.
