In a circle of giving, we rise together.

May 2026 @ Elizabeth’s At the Art Museum

What an unforgettable evening for our latest 100 Women gathering at Elizabeth’s inside the Art Museum of South Texas. From the moment guests arrived, every detail of the night felt thoughtful, welcoming, and beautifully curated. We had the venue to ourselves, allowing members to enjoy a peaceful stroll through the museum surrounded by incredible photography, watercolor works, paintings, and sculptures before making their way into the event space overlooking the Port of Corpus Christi, the new Harbor Bridge, and the Texas State Aquarium glowing across the water.

Chef Meesha created an absolutely stunning culinary display that was as delicious as it was beautiful. Adding even more magic to the evening was live music from Eric Graham, who serenaded guests throughout the night. Many may not know that Eric and Chef Misha are married and raising two beautiful children together, making this rare opportunity to see them hosting the same event especially meaningful.

We were also lucky to have our beloved photographer Gertrude capturing the evening behind the lens. If you have ever taken photos with Gertrude, you know the routine: “1, 2, 3… pose! 1, 2, 3!” and you better change your pose each time or she will absolutely make you do it again. Her joyful energy lights up every room, and we are so grateful for her.

The turnout was incredible, with many new members joining us alongside our amazing returning supporters. Our featured charities shared powerful presentations with members, and the emotional reaction from the Rainbow Room after receiving the $15,000 Impact Grant is a moment many of us will never forget. The two additional charities each received $1,000 Action Awards.

Our Bonus Give recipient, Champions for Change, also received $150 in gift cards and $55 in direct QR code donations. They shared an upcoming volunteer opportunity that several members immediately signed up for, and we look forward to sharing more ways the community can get involved soon.

It was truly a beautiful evening filled with generosity, connection, music, art, and community. Browse the photos from the night and explore memories from past meetings on our website.

Impact Update from Previous Recipient

A highlight of the evening was hearing from T-E-X-A-S.org (Traffic Education & Safety). recipients of our previous Impact Award. Thanks to the generosity of our members, they were able to purchase a vehicle to further their students’ skills training.
