The Junior League of Houston’s 73rd annual Charity Ball was reimagined from the traditional multi-night celebration of the League’s service to a one-evening affair hosted as small watch parties in members’ homes. JLH supporters received special deliveries, including a floral centerpiece, a celebrate-from-home basket with items to “illuminate the night,” such as luminary candles, conversation cards, sparklers, and the Junior League's award-winning cookbook, Peace Meals. This year’s Charity Ball was one of the most successful, raising more than $600,000 for the League. The Charity Ball Committee included Rachel Regan, Amanda Pritchett, Jennifer Dennis Weinstock, Megan Anson, Bethany Michiels Buchanan, Amy Strickland, Rebecca Lawson Dalton, Tabbetha Lopez, Lauren Gates, and Beth Zdeblick.
