On August 18, Texas Children’s Hospital the Woodlands employees attended the annual Chamber of Commerce’s 2018 Chairman’s Ball, and snagged a few awards as well. This year’s theme was “Star Wars: May the Force be with You and Beyond.” The team won the “Best Done For You” award and orthopedics physician assistant, Danielle Comeaux, won “Best Costume” with her Padme look.
“There’s definitely a sense of pride that we’ve only been in this community as a full hospital for such a brief period, but have already made our presence felt with a number of awards and recognition,” said the Director of Business Operations, Eric Allum.
The annual event is a black-tie affair honoring the Chairman of the Board, Frank Holmes of Sam Houston State University, while celebrating the accomplishments of The Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce. Along with costume and table decorating contests, the event was a night of food, fun, and mingling with many other organization from the community.
“It was a lot of fun. The Star Wars theme really allowed us to show our fun side as a children’s hospital,” Allum said. “It shows how much we support The Woodlands Chamber and our ongoing commitment to this community.”
It is important for Texas Children’s to attend these events to show the support that we have to the community inside and outside of the hospital.
“The Chamber puts on a first class event and we feel it’s important that the health care community is well represented,” Allum added. “We look forward to celebrating with our community partners again and seeing what fun theme is presented next year.”
