Houston Hospice Spirit Award Dinner

Nonprofit organization Houston Hospice is holding its 22nd annual celebration via a hybrid live-stream, in-person dinner on Oct. 28. The event will honor The Garden Club of Houston through its Spirit Award. 

Historically, The Laura Lee Blanton Community Spirit Award recognizes the grace and generosity of a community leader or organization that has made a positive impact on the Greater Houston Area. Established in 1924, this year’s honoree, The Garden Club of Houston, has supported a plethora of Houston area green spaces, including The Garden at Houston Hospice, in addition to providing educational programs that promote the love of horticulture in children, teens, and adults.

This year’s featured speaker will be New York Times Bestselling Author and Breast Cancer Survivor Elin Hilderbrand. Previously scheduled for the Spring Butterfly Luncheon, the Johns Hopkins University and Iowa Writer’s Workshop graduate is best known as the “queen of beach reads” with 28 novels about Nantucket life and love to her name.
