As stories of sexual assaults, high school dropout rates and other struggles facing women and girls dominate news headlines, RARE Pearls, Inc. is stepping up to make a difference.
On Saturday, April 14, hundreds of women and girls will gather at the Sugar Land Marriott Town Center for the 2018 “Pumps and Pearls” Scholarships and Awards Luncheon. This year’s luncheon is being chaired by Gayla Gardner along with the dynamic mother and daughter honorary chairs: ABC 13’s Gina Gaston and daughter Lauren and Dr. Kelli Cohen Fein and daughter Jordan.
The event raises funds to support RARE Pearls in delivering life-changing programs and experiences to under-served girls in the community. Eleven program graduates will be recognized and awarded college scholarships. Additionally, six community leaders will receive the RARE Pearls Women of Excellence Award for their extraordinary accomplishments and commitment to helping pave the path to success for other women and girls. Those women are Kelley Taylor, Suzan Deison, Laurie, Julie Finck, Myrtle Jones and Lalla Morris.
Barbara Curtis, Founder and President of RARE Pearls, Inc., invites others to join their mission. “RARE Pearls is committed to equipping and empowering girls to reach their full potential. We are determined to do what we can to give them the tools, guidance and support needed to achieve their dreams. We’re inviting women and men throughout Houston to join us on April 14 as we step up for this great cause!”
