A Look Back at 2016
2017 is here, and a new year brings new resolutions, plans, and new beginnings. But I want to take a quick look back at 2016, because it was a very important year for me – it was the year I launched Texanthropy!
Through Texanthropy, I am making volunteerism and service to others my primary focus as First Lady of Texas. I have already met so many Texans who are doing wonderful things to help their fellow Texans. Here’s a quick look back at just a few Texanthropists I met in 2016:
2016 Governor’s Volunteer Awards Winners
2016 Texas Nonprofit Summit Series
Mace Massingill, Hunger Fighter
The Sickle Cell Association of Texas
In 2017, I look forward to continuing to work to bring together the two things that I am most passionate about – Texas and philanthropy. With your help, I hope to inspire more Texans to get involved and help make a difference through service and volunteering.
