IHWSH rang in 2018 with a January brunch, supported by donations from Paulie’s Restaurant, Camerata at Paulie's, Greenway Coffee, Jake’s Finer Foods, Gourmet Ranch, Jordan Salcito, Valkyrie Selections, and CauseEvents.com. IHWSH volunteers, including Chef Patti Burdette, Chef Jody Stevens, Chef Monica Pope and beverage specialists Laurie Harvey, Kris Sowell and Monica Townsend, successfully raised more than $6,000 for teen sexual education programming at Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast. 80+ attendees gathered to enjoy the special menu and listen to Texas Children’s Hospital docs Mary Brandt and Jennifer Dietrich speak on the critical need for factual, evidence-based sexual education for Texas Teens. Noted guests included Star Massing, a principle organizer of the Houston Women’s March, and Julie Demitros, grand-daughter of Planned Parenthood founder, Margaret Sanger.
