Currently, two senior initiatives are in progress: (1). program development for the only senior playground in Texas in partnership with Texas A&M Agrilife Extension and Galveston County Parks & Recreation – Carbide Park in LaMarque, Texas; and (2). setting the groundwork for first future senior park in America in partnership with Wm Dillard & Associates LP on donated land in the City of Jersey Village.

Honorary Chairs, Dr. Carolyn Farb, hc and Peter Martino and Co-Chairs, Staci Henderson and Barbara Reyna will welcome guests to a jazz-filled luncheon with music by Bubba McNeely Duo. Multi-award winner and local PBS host, Ernie Manouse will serve as the Master of Ceremonies. Prominent philanthropists, corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, young professionals, celebrities and media representatives are expected to attend the luncheon.

The Second Annual Jazz Luncheon is a tribute to famed musician Duke Ellington, with his granddaughter Mercedes Ellington, legendary choreographer and dancer as one of the special honorees.
