Making Progress - Assisting One Child At A Time
We measure our success by the number of children whose lives are touched by our efforts each year. Houston Children’s Charity is served by its Founder, President & CEO Laura Ward, and a steadfast Board of Directors who carefully steward the resources of our donors to efficiently and effectively meet the needs of Houston’s children.
With an ambitious goal to leave no legitimate request for assistance unanswered, we seek to expand our base of support through dedicated sponsors and committed volunteers to strengthen our ability to help children. Our supporters come from all walks of life and understand that caring means giving of themselves. There are numerous ways to be a part of our work. Explore our programs and events to see how you would like to become involved and contact us today!

Salute of Champions✨
Houston Children’s Charity is proud to celebrate our President & CEO, Laura Ward, as a 2026 Legacy Champion at Texas Children’s Salute to Champions! 💗
Laura proudly walked the runway alongside Rylie, a former Texas Children’s patient who first participated in Runway for a Cure in 2018. Now 26, Rylie enjoys running, reading, and strawberry ice cream. Their inspiring appearance celebrated the courage and resilience of pediatric cancer patients and survivors.
The annual fashion show and luncheon raises critical funds for pediatric cancer research and patient care through the Texas Children’s Cancer and Hematology Center.
We are honored to see Laura recognized alongside incredible champions who are making a difference in the lives of children and families throughout our community. 💫

30 Years of Results. And one unforgettable night.
In 2024, Houston Children’s Charity walked into its 27th Annual Gala hoping to make history.
Houston answered with $6.2 million.
There was plenty of star power — Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, NFL Hall of Famer Andre Johnson and an incredible night of music from Chicago.
There was a $500,000 live-auction moment.
And Jana and Richard Fant stunned the room with a gift that would provide 30 wheelchair-accessible vans through Chariots for Children.
But the real story wasn’t who was in the room.
It was what would happen after everyone went home.
Beds for children sleeping on floors.
Wheelchair-accessible vans for families who need them.
Programs serving thousands of Houston children.
That’s what the Gala makes possible.
And in just a couple of weeks, Houston gets to do it again.
October 17.
30 Years.
The Promise Continues.
