The March of Dimes kicked off the Houston Best Dressed Luncheon with the Chairpersons welcoming the full room of supporters. Stephanie Tsuru presented a heartwarming story of how two years ago, March of Dimes helped her newborn granddaughter survive after an early delivery reminding everyone why they were there.
Congratulations to the honorees, 10 best-dressed women—all leaders in philanthropy—who shared the March of Dimes commitment to serving local families. Since its inception 41 years ago, the Best Dressed Luncheon has raised nearly $15 million dollars to lead the fight for healthy moms and strong babies.
Funds raised directly support local initiatives in several ways, including March of Dimes NICU Family Support® program that launched in 2022 at Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital. The event ended with a spectacular runway fashion show presented by Neiman Marcus highlighting Pamella Roland fashions.
