Winter Hugs and Warm Soles Luncheon

Chris Gardner is guest of honor, who will speak at the luncheon. Gardner is the author of the best-selling book and autobiography The Pursuit of Happyness, which chronicles his personal triumph over poverty and homelessness. The story was made into a major motion picture starring Will Smith and is the second biggest grossing domestic drama of all time. Gardner's new book, Start Where You Are: Life Lessons in Getting Where You Are to Where You Want to Be, was released this spring. Gardner is the owner and CEO of Christopher Gardner International Holdings and travels the country as a motivational speaker, addressing the keys to overcoming obstacles and breaking cycles.

Luncheon proceeds benefit the Winter Hugs & Warm Soles program, conducted annually by Wednesday’s Child Benefit Corporation, and provide new coats and shoes to North Texas foster children who otherwise might go without.

One winner will be chosen for a 18-carat yellow–gold, multi-diamond pendant designed by Naomi Fine Jewelry Lounge with more than two carats of pavé diamonds surrounding a 14.5-carat green topaz gemstone from the personal collection of Gloria Campos.
