Dear Friends,

Like most parents, I admire my kids for their individual strengths and unique traits. Colette, Edison, and Olivia were remarkable, each exceptional in their own way. But I was most overcome and inspired when seeing them together. Colette’s energy to lead was balanced by Edison’s thoughtful nature. While Edison’s ideas and curiosities were often guided by Olivia’s insights and perspective. They brought out the best in one another and together, they were unstoppable - showing me that collective action can lead to extraordinary outcomes.

This dynamic is still alive today through the collaborative efforts of the CEO Foundation, its supporters, and community partners - positively impacting over 5,000 children and families each year. But, there is still much to accomplish... and we invite you to join us on this journey.

At this time, I am thrilled to share that the CEO Foundation’s 5th Annual Gala will be held on Saturday, February 20th, 2027 at the POST HTX, and chaired by Maya & Matt Pomroy. Cocktail hour will include an incredible exclusive immersive art experience at the ART CLUB inside POST HTX that you won't want to miss!

During the upcoming gala, we will continue to feature a truly unique auction experience that leans into the spirit of giving. If you haven’t joined us before, most of the live auction items are donated back to groups of deserving kids through our partner network of kid-focused nonprofit organizations. The success of our charity gala and auction further highlights our community’s spirit of humanity and our commitment to empowering the next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers.

If our mission resonates with you, please consider sponsoring and underwriting our upcoming gala. Your tax-deductible contribution is vital to our growth and success, supporting the foundation’s philanthropic initiatives and necessary operational activities. Please see the attached sponsorship information which outlines various levels of giving for this event. If interested, please reach out to Kelly Goff, (kelly@ceofoundation.org).

Love Love,
Jackie Pham
