Trees For Houston’s 2025 Root Ball: Branching Out was a huge success. Cathleen and Michael FishelLarry Meacham and Juli Japhet, and Sheila Condon and Mark Wilson, Brittney Christy, Marti Grizzle, Helen Winchell, Jane Luciano, and Lindsey Renfro were among the more than 440 tree-loving Houstonians who gathered at The Forest Club. Sheila Condon and Juli Japhet chaired the 31st annual Root Ball and welcomed guests down an azalea-lined path to the party that raised a record-breaking $600,000. Supporters enjoyed dinner on the clay courts that were transformed for the event, along with live piano music from Thomas Cokinos who entertained song requests and singalongs. The evening concluded with guests taking home Bur Oak acorns, a unique party favor symbolizing seeds for future growth.
