The Women’s Home, together with Co-Chairs&nbsp;Alden Clark&nbsp;and&nbsp;Doug Parker, host the public unveiling of&nbsp;“Faces of Change: Her Story is Houston’s Story,”&nbsp;a visionary new mural by acclaimed Houston artist&nbsp;Anat Ronen, on&nbsp;Saturday,&nbsp;October 3, 2026,&nbsp;from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 811 Westheimer, Houston, Texas 77006.
Guests will enjoy a DJ, 360 photobooth, tacos from Velvet Taco, a ribbon cutting, and special promotions at The Women's Home Cottage Shop.
“Faces of Change: Her Story is Houston’s Story”&nbsp;is a monumental 61-foot-by-20-foot mural that&nbsp;creates a permanent tribute to extraordinary women whose courage, vision and leadership have helped define Houston’s cultural, civic and social fabric.
Created by Houston artist&nbsp;Anat Ronen, the mural will reflect the strength, resilience, diversity and enduring influence of Houston’s women while inviting generations of Houstonians to discover the stories of the women who helped shape the city they call home.
Ronen is a Houston-based multidisciplinary artist specializing in murals, street painting and works on canvas. Her work can be found throughout the greater Houston area in public spaces including interstate highways, bridges, buildings, churches and schools, as well as in museums and exhibitions across the United States and internationally in India, China and Australia. Her clients include Disney, Texas Children’s Hospital, Google, Hines, United Airlines and Johnson Space Center, among others.
Through “Faces of Change: Her Story is Houston’s Story,”&nbsp;The Women’s Home will celebrate six remarkable women while illuminating a much larger story—the countless ways women have shaped Houston’s identity, strengthened its communities and expanded its possibilities.

Houston Sports Park

Breakthrough T1D, formerly JDRF, will welcome thousands of supporters and volunteers at the annual Breakthrough T1D Walk on&nbsp;Saturday, November 7, 2026, at Houston Sports Park.
The Breakthrough T1D Walk is a nationwide movement where hundreds of thousands rally in more than 130 events nationwide to transform the future for those with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The Breakthrough T1D Walk is the Houston community’s chance to support research and make a real difference for the T1D community.
Led by Walk Chair&nbsp;Nelly White, a longtime supporter through her involvement leading the Williams Company employee Walk team. White is deeply inspired by the resilience of the community and the significant impact Breakthrough T1D makes every day to fund the research leading to life-changing breakthroughs.
White will join&nbsp;Will Shappley&nbsp;as he serves this year as the Honorary Grand Marshal in&nbsp;the 1.5-mile walk.&nbsp;The Shappley journey with Type 1 Diabetes began when his daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 5. The Shappley family became involved with Breakthrough T1D shortly after Mary Ellis’s diagnosis and has remained deeply engaged ever since participating in annual walks, building “Team Mary Ellis,” and helping raise awareness, funding, and community support. &nbsp;
The Junior Grand Marshal will be announced at the kickoff party on August 30, 2026, at Dave and Busters. All registered walkers will be placed into a drawing – with one entry for every $100 raised – and will have the honor of joining the Honorary Grand Mashal as they cut the ribbon and lead the Walk.
Breakthrough T1D Southern Texas Territory Executive&nbsp;Rick Byrd&nbsp;and Chapter Sr. Director&nbsp;Deandrea Dillard&nbsp;will welcome guests to a fun-filled family friendly day of entertainment, including a Kid’s zone, carnival games, a sports-related inflatable obstacle course, photo booth, bracelet making, hair painting by Floyd’s Barber Shop, face painting, a balloon artist, and more.
Safari Snuggles will host a Rufus Bear Clinic to repair and provide new shirts for the beloved bear that each child receives upon diagnosis. In addition to a lively DJ from the AM Project out of San Antonio, the Houston Texans cheerleaders and Texans Mascot Toro will also join in the fun along with the upbeat sounds provided by Attucks Middle School Marching Band.
As participating walkers make their way throughout the park, Breakthrough T1D will honor members of the T1D community with the&nbsp;Breakthrough Mile of Hope. This will feature a mile-long path adorned with signs honoring those living with Type 1 Diabetes. Participants can be a part of this special tribute by fundraising or making a donation of $500 per sign. Following the walk, an award ceremony will take place where teams with the highest donation will receive a traveling trophy to hold until the following year’s event.
The Breakthrough T1D Walk is free to join, but registration is required for all walkers, including children. Fundraising is encouraged, as the average participant raises more than $400 supporting research to help cure T1D.
Sponsors include&nbsp;Deloitte LLP; BP Energy Company; The Williams Companies;&nbsp; Ford Motor Company;&nbsp;and&nbsp;SanMar Corporation.
Breakthrough T1D invites everyone to support the mission&nbsp;and learn more about T1D. For more information on the Breakthrough T1D Walk or to volunteer, contact Deandrea Dillard at&nbsp;<a href="mailto:ddillard@breakthrought1d.org">ddillard@breakthrought1d.org</a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;713-401-3145, and&nbsp;visit&nbsp;<a href="https://www2.breakthrought1d.org/site/TR?fr_id=10732&amp;pg=informational&amp;type=fr_informational&amp;sid=2452" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Breakthrough T1D Walk, Greater Houston, TX: Event Details - BreakthroughT1D Walk</a>.

Hilton Americas-Houston

IM Houston (IM) will celebrate dialogue, collaboration and service at its annual&nbsp;Tapestry Gala&nbsp;on&nbsp;Saturday, November 14, 2026, at&nbsp;6 p.m.&nbsp;at the&nbsp;Hilton Americas – Houston.&nbsp;
The theme of this year's event&nbsp;"Timeless Threads"&nbsp;honors the enduring connections woven through more than 60 years of IM Houston’s service to the community. It reflects the relationships forged across faiths and cultures, the work that continues today, and the lasting legacy carried forward for future generations.
KTRK ABC13 Anchor&nbsp;Gina Gaston&nbsp;will serve as Master of Ceremonies for the evening, which will recognize&nbsp;Linh and Fred G. Marshall&nbsp;with the 2026 Tapestry Award—the organization’s highest philanthropic honor. For more than a decade, the Marshalls have championed IM Houston’s mission through their generosity, volunteer leadership, and steadfast belief that civic engagement is essential to building a thriving community. Their dedication exemplifies the spirit and values at the heart of IM Houston’s work.
The evening will also honor the&nbsp;William A. Lawson Institute for Peace and Prosperity&nbsp;(WALIPP) with the 2026 Spirit of Respect Award. The late&nbsp;Reverend William A. Lawson, founding pastor of Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church, was one of Houston’s original “Three Amigos,” the informal name given to the trio of faith leaders who stood together for decades in pursuit of civil rights, social justice, and human dignity.
The Three Amigos—Reverend Lawson, Archbishop Joseph Fiorenza, and Rabbi Samuel Karff—were not only pillars of Houston’s civic life, but also foundational partners in the vision that became IM Houston. The Spirit of Respect Award honors individuals and organizations whose lives embody those enduring values. In recognizing WALIPP and the Lawson family, IM Houston pays tribute to the very foundation upon which the organization was built.
The award will be accepted on behalf of WALIPP by Reverend Lawson’s daughters:&nbsp;Melanie Lawson, Cheryl Lawson, and Roxanne Lawson.
Longtime IM Houston supporters and board members&nbsp;Shirin and Saied Alavi&nbsp;will serve as Event Chairs, joining IM President and CEO&nbsp;Sheroo Mukhtiar&nbsp;and Board Chair&nbsp;Henry Florsheim&nbsp;in welcoming guests to an inspiring evening celebrating the organization’s mission and impact.
Shell USA, Inc.&nbsp;serves as the Presenting Sponsor of the 2026 Tapestry Gala.
Together, guests will celebrate the threads of understanding and service that continue to strengthen the fabric of Houston.
For more than 60 years, IM has united people of diverse backgrounds to serve the Greater Houston area and manifests the strength of shared beliefs through five areas of service to the greater Houston community: Meals on Wheels/Animeals; Refugee Services; Interfaith Relations; and Volunteer Houston.
