CHAT for Change-Rise from Refuge Gala

Join Culture of Health - Advancing Together (CHAT) for its gala, an annual fundraising event to support Houston's immigrant and refugee communities. The event will include a keynote address from renowned "Tox Doc" Dr. Noreen Khan-Mayberry, the world's first female Space Toxicologist, best-selling author and internationally acclaimed medical science expert. 

CHAT works to foster the health and well-being of immigrant and refugee communities through education, arts, advocacy and access to care. The gala will chronicle the incredible stories of the journey made by families from Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria and other parts of the world to Houston. 

Proceeds raised from the Gala will benefit the CHAT year-round programs and services. These include tutoring services and enrichment activities for children, after-school and summer camp programs for local youth, Social Emotional Learning programs and local schools, ESL and technology classes for women, skills training and job resource guidance and more.
