The Woodlands Area Economic Development Partnership

Our team enjoyed attending this year’s In The Pink Premier Party at Amerigo’s Grill and the Memorial Hermann The Woodlands In the Pink of Health Luncheon held at The Woodland Waterway Marriott. Thank you to our partners and guests who joined us! These events help raise awareness and funds for programs in Montgomery County to combat breast and ovarian cancer.  A highlight was hearing this year’s guest speaker, former Olympic gymnast Shannon Miller. Shannon is the only female athlete to be inducted into the US Olympic Hall of fame - twice. In 2010, she launched a company focused on women's health and became a motivational speaker. In 2011, Shannon was diagnosed with a rare form of ovarian cancer. Today, she is cancer-free and continues to be an advocate for early detection awareness.

We were so excited to share in the celebrations and events leading up to the 50th Anniversary of The Woodlands on October 19. Thank you to the list of sponsors and community partners who made last week so special! We greatly enjoyed connecting with everyone at the official kickoff ceremony and The Woodlands Arts Council mural unveiling last week. Our team also proudly participated in the “Day of Giving” and donated 50 food items to Interfaith Of The Woodlands to support their community-wide food drive and call to service. The community concert hosted by Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. featuring Lyle Lovett and his Large Band, with Hayes Carll and Jack Ingram, at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion was so special and the grand public extravaganza, produced by The Woodlands Township, featuring the fireworks and drone show was spectacular. #CheersTo50Years #SoWoodlands #WeAreED #TheWoodlandsTX
