Thank you to our generous sponsors who support running for a cause: Huntsman, Texas Children’s Hospital The Woodlands, Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical Center, Houston Methodist Hospital The Woodlands, Alight Solutions, CWM Pavilion, MD Anderson, Fleet Feet, Market Street, Academy and Market Street.

Kick off your holiday shopping at the 20th Annual Junior League Holiday Market at the Woodlands Waterway Marriott Convention Center! Back for its 20th season, the Holiday Market is a shopping extravaganza event that features a variety of items. For three days in November, the Woodlands Waterway Convention Center will transform into a festive holiday marketplace with local vendors selling handcrafted jewelry, clothing, home decor, holiday ornaments, and so much more!

Have you heard of the Teal Pumpkin Project? It’s a simple way to make trick-or-treating safer and more inclusive for the 1 in 13 children living with food allergies, and many others impacted by intolerances and other conditions. 

I absolutely LOVE this project idea! All you have to do is place a teal pumpkin on your doorstep that signals that, in addition to candy, you offer non-food trinkets and treats that are safe for all trick or treaters.
