Jewish Federation 2013 Collage
On Tuesday, January 29, the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston welcomes Mayim Bialik -- perhaps better known as the 1990s sitcom teen queen "Blossom" -- to speak to women from across the community at its annual Collage luncheon. Women's Philanthropy makes up about 25 percent of the overall Jewish Federation Annual Campaign and a large portion of those funds come from Collage participation. Did you know that last year's Campaign raised $7.9 million to support hundreds of Jewish agencies in Houston, Israel and around the world, including The Emery/Weiner School, which received $202,500 in 2012?
Collage guests will enjoy shmooze time, a delicious kosher lunch and a rousing presentation by Bialik, a sharp and witty Jewish actress who has gone on to earn a PhD in Neuroscience, author a parenting book, and raise two children. Luncheon tickets are $55, plus a minimum suggested Campaign gift of $236. Visit houstonjewish.org to register, or contact Emily Dennis for more information at 713-729-7000 x 313.
