Happy Hour for a Cause: 2026 Annual School Uniform Drive (Tuesday, April 28, 2026)

Happy Hour - For a Cause!

Join us at Savoir to sip, socialize and support our monthly cause.

We’re excited to share our goals for the 11th annual School Uniform Drive and officially kick off this donation drive to help local elementary and middle schoolers start the year with confidence.

This year, we have shifted our focus to exclusively providing new for students in need. Every dollar raised will go directly toward purchasing new, dress-code-compliant apparel for five local area schools. Your support helps ensure that these students can focus on learning with a sense of pride and belonging.

We will be accepting cash, credit card, and check donations on-site.

Corporate matching funds from eligible donors are also welcomed. Consider maximizing your donation by verifying eligibility for a match through your employer's HR department.

Can't make it but want to contribute? You can still make a difference by donating online here. Please select "School Uniform Drive" as the Cause to ensure your gift is routed appropriately.

What to Expect:

Complimentary appetizers will be provided.
Members are welcome to order any additional food and, of course, purchase their own cocktails from the menu.

Important Registration Details:

Members may register a maximum of one guest.
Please register so we can plan accordingly.

We can't wait to see you there.

Community Outreach: Graduation Cards and School Uniform Drive

Our Community Outreach this month focuses on two meaningful milestones: sending off our local graduates with personalized cards and equipping the next generation of students through our 1 1th Annual School Uniform Drive.

Celebrating Our Graduates

We are delighted to support the 70 graduating seniors of Houston Heights High School in the Communities In Schools (CIS) program! Here is how you can help us send them off with a personal touch:

Share a Message: Members will have the opportunity to hand-write heartfelt, congratulatory messages to inspire these students as they embark on their next chapter.
Card Options: Graduation cards will be provided by the Club, though you are also welcome to bring your own from home.
All cards will be collected and distributed directly to the students in the CIS program to celebrate their hard work and achievement.

Kicking Off Our 11th Annual School Uniform Drive

As we celebrate our graduates, we are also looking ahead to ensure the next generation of students starts their year with confidence. Our 2026–2027 initiative is now officially live:
