The Junior League of Houston is used to throwing lavish affairs: grand, multi-night galas with hundreds in attendance at the 96-year-old womenâs organizationâs Uptown ballroom. After all, thatâs what it did in February 2020, when 600 guests gathered for the 72nd Annual Charity Ball, raising nearly $1 million.
That big, in-person charity event didnât happen this year. Because of Covid-19, the Junior League instead opted for a virtual gala themed âIlluminate,â which highlighted the ongoing work League volunteers have done in Houston throughout the pandemic.
