The Women’s Fund Hosts 10th Annual Wine Dinner: Toast to Resilience on April 24, 2025 at The Astorian

The Women’s Fund for Health Education and Resiliency, a nonprofit providing Houston area women and girls with the tools needed to be advocates for their health, will host the 10th Annual Wine Dinner on Thursday, April 24, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. at The Astorian, 2500 Summer St., Houston 77007. 

Proceeds from the event support The Women’s Fund programs that serve to educate girls and women in the Houston area through classes, workshops, lectures, and publications focused on physical, mental, financial, emotional, health and wellness. 

Chairs Vanessa and Chuck Ames will welcome guests while honoring the inaugural Toast to Resilience Class – a distinguished group of honorees whose leadership, compassion, and unwavering dedication reflect the very heart of the organization’s mission. Each honoree has championed the resilience of women and girls in the community, inspiring others to rise, thrive, and lead with confidence.

Gina Gaston Elie will be honored with the Resilient Heart Award; Paulina and Jim McGrath with the Visionary Spirit Award; and Chris Shepherd and Lindsey Brown with the Champions of Community Award.

The evening will include an exquisite four-course meal catered by Jackson & Company with wine pairings, a silent auction, big board and live auction.
