RISE Picnic for Recovery was a great success!

On April 16, 2024, more than 100 of Santa Maria’s dedicated supporters gathered at this annual fundraiser celebrating the thousands of women and families whose lives are transformed via Santa Maria’s work.  The event was held at Station3, a historic Houston fire station now used as a unique event venue.  A fitting place to celebrate Santa Maria who has been serving women and their families in Houston for more than 65 years.

The event featured talented emcee Chau Nguyen, a Santa Maria Advisory Council member and special guest speaker Santa Maria Alumni Julie.  Julie shared her story of hope and the transformation her life took after participating in Santa Maria’s programs and services.

The event raised more than $145,000 for Santa Maria to continue empowering women and their families to lead healthy, successful, productive and self-fulfilling lives.

Santa Maria is immensely grateful to everyone who contributed to the success of the Rise Picnic For Recovery.
