In December, more than 120 guests gathered at the home of Denise and Eric Lipar for the third annual Ambassadors for Texas Children’s Hospital The Woodlands Holiday Party.
In the spirit of the holidays, guests dressed in festive attire for the ”Sparkling Winter Wonderland” theme, which included a fabulous Spanish guitar band, toasty fireplaces and a special appearance by Santa Claus.
Beautiful decorations, amazing appetizers, delicious beverages and a gourmet dinner all added to the merriment and joy of the evening.

The DeLucas’ home was stunning, and guests were greeted by a grand display of holiday lights twinkling from the trees. Every room was donned in classic, Christmas décor with wreaths hung with garlands, all leading to a beautifully lit tree, evoking a nostalgic holiday spirit. Guests mingled, enjoyed each other’s company and enjoyed a festive holiday feast from appetizers to dessert, all provided by A Fare Extraordinaire Catering.
Elizabeth DeLuca shared the moving story of her daughter, Caroline, their journey with a child suffering from a neurological disorder and the things that led them to became so devoted to Texas Children’s mission.
Dr. ZoAnn Dreyer, co-director of the Long-Term Survivor Program at Texas Children’s Cancer Center, thanked Ambassadors for their dedication to Texas Children’s Hospital.
