Assistance League prepares for FEAST fundraiser

The Assistance League will hold its annual fundraising event, "FEAST: Food, Fun and Philanthropy," on Saturday, April 9, at the Houston Marriott South at Hobby Airport.

The event begins at 7 p.m. and will feature special hors d'oeuvres prepared by area chefs, dancing to the band "Nobody's Fool," and both a live and silent auction.

Money raised at the fundraiser will help aid area students at Clear Creek, Dickinson, La Porte and Friendswood school districts. Since school started in the fall, 1,700 students have been given a week's worth of new clothes through Operation School Bell, hundreds will receive prom dresses and tuxedo rentals through Operation Cinderella, and more will receive scholarships to attend summer enrichment programs.

The Houston Marriott South at Hobby Airport is located at 9100 Gulf Freeway.
