The six Community Champions will star in the Runway Finale, leading guests into a one-of-a-kind After Party headlined by the Bucktown All-Stars, direct from New Orleans.

Chosen through a selection committee, Brian Albert, Noemi Gonzalez, DeAnn Guidry, Justin Hogan MD, Diane Kink and Ray Sanders will serve as the Inaugural Community Champions. “At the heart of our community are those who serve others, and each of our models has shown a deep commitment to working among corporations, organizations, schools and civic groups to bring stakeholders together and build upon their success. We look forward to celebrating them in a brand new format and honoring all that each has done to elevate the South Montgomery County area,” shares Missy Herndon, Interfaith of The Woodlands President & CEO.

The 1st Annual event will be held at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center on Friday, August 19, 2022.
