About This Event

From Backpacks to Briefcases Building Skills for Tomorrow's Workforce 

Join us for the 3rd Annual Heart of Education Luncheon on Wednesday, May 13from 11:15 AM-1:00 PM, as we unite to champion the students and educators shaping Harris County's future.

This year's luncheon highlights the powerful impact of after-school programs and the Center for After School and Summer Enrichment (CASE for Kids)- initiatives that connect learning beyond the classroom to real-world success by fostering creativity, confidence, and career-ready skills. 

Why Your Support Matters

Your generosity creates opportunity across 25 county school districts, expanding access to vital resources such as innovative enrichment programs, classroom grants, scholarships, and essential supplies. These investments do more than enhance education—they open doors, spark potential, and help students imagine what’s possible.

Together, we are building a stronger, more vibrant community by empowering the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and changemakers.
