Wendy Dawson, Constable’s Office Precinct 1 Chief Carl Shaw, Kim Jenson, and Katrina Chamblee-Boyd and Limor and Stuart Smith donned cowboy hats, boots, and jeans at the Center for Pursuit’s Rodeo under the Stars held at the Center’s new multi-acre campus headquarters in the East End. In 2022, the Center for Pursuit, which serves adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, merged with Social Motion, a provider of social skills and vocational training for people on the autism spectrum, from pre-K to young adults. The festive event allowed supporters to tour the new facility and celebrate the combined strength of two programs coming together to provide a continuum of care for all ages. Event chair Stacy Stidham Anderson helped the organization raise almost $146,000 for people with special needs. Guests enjoyed dinner from Goode Company, music from Horizon Band Houston, and a program led by Anderson, the Center chief executive officer and president Charles C. Canton, Social Motion founder Wendy Dawson, and Social Motion director Cynthia Florez.
