Stop By Cotton Club Collection This Sunday…

Special party to raise funds for Charity plus lots of fun bites, sips and shopping

This Sunday Cotton Club Collection, one of our fave fashion boutiques on San Felipe in Houston’s River Oaks area, will be hosting a fundraiser for the charity, Faith in Practice and honoring, specifically, the Mann Surgical Team and their patients.

Faith in Practice is a non-profit, ecumenical Christian organization that seeks to improve the physical, spiritual, and economic conditions of the poor in Guatemala through integrated surgical, medical, and dental mission trips and health-related educational programs. I was able to learn first hand about this charity this past weekend when I attended their 25th Anniversary Gala that honored local entrepreneurs, Tootsies owners, Norman and Donna Lewis. It was most definitely an eye-opener for me to learn about this very worthwhile charity and the much good that they do.

About Mann Pediatric Surgery Team: The Mann Pediatric Surgery team, is one of many Faith in Practice teams traveling to Guatemala eleven months out of every year.  Our team is comprised of 50 professionals treating an anticipated 100 patients in the operating rooms (surgeons, anesthesiologists, OR nurses, PACU nurses, ward physicians, interpreters), 100 kids in our dental clinic (dentists, anesthesiologists, assistants, and interpreters), 125 adults and children in our mobility clinics where we assemble and distribute wheelchairs and other aids to people in need (orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, assistants, interpreters, and wheelchair assembly staff).  Plus, we bring administrators like myself who handle the non-medical aspects of the trip, photographers, bloggers, etc.  We will be traveling the week of February 15-22.  The Share the Mission program helps fund the supplies and medications we bring to do our work.  Nothing goes to us personally.  We pay for our flights, meals, lodging, and all other expenses.    You can read more about Faith in Practice here:  www.faithinpractice.org.

So, please stop by Cotton Club on Sunday and contribute to this charity and its work and have a great time shopping and visiting with owners Jennifer Cunningham and John Maguire. Sunday from 2-4 p.m. You can rsvp at rsvp@cottonclubtx.com!
