Community Involvement
Throwing memorable events for great guests isn’t the only passion of the team behind The Ballroom at Bayou Place. Another love of ours is supporting people in need and organizations doing good work.
A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats
The Ballroom at Bayou Place is here to make a difference, not a buck. We believe giving back to the Houston community is the best way.
Our team offers lends a hand in many ways, from underwriting fundraisers for nonprofits to providing space and personnel for charitable causes. Some organizations close to us include:
- The National Association Of Real Estate Professionals
- The National Association Of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals
- Halo House Foundation
- The Houston 20
- EWI
- Conrad Johnson Foundation
- Leadership Houston
Houston is home to the Texas Medical Center, the largest hub of healthcare research, innovation, and treatment in the southwestern United States of America. The Halo House’s mission is to help save the lives of cancer patients battling leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma by offering them access to clean, affordable housing while visiting the TMC.
As an international business center, Houston sees visitors from around the world. A byproduct of its global recognition is sex trafficking. The Houston 20 advocates for the end of sex trafficking, such as changing laws and backing organizations that support survivors.
