Ever wanted to be on The Amazing Race, but can’t quit your day job?  Then check you gotta check out this event that is coming Houston on March 20th. The event is called CitySolve Urban Race Houston. It's a cross between The Amazing Race and a scavenger hunt!  Teams of 2-6 solve clues and face fun challenges all while navigating H-Town by foot and public transit!  You can dress up in wild costumes. As a matter of fact, it’s encouraged and you can win a $50 gift certificate for best costume!

Charity Chicks supporters will receive a 15% discount on the entry fee by using the discount code "charitychicks".  Read more details and sign up here.

Also, 20% of your registration will be donated to Texans Together, the beneficiary decided upon by Charity Chicks fans through a vote done on Facebook!  Woo hoo!

Charity Chicks Chef Crew Supports Star of Hope Mission
11:15am ~ 1:30pm OR 4:15pm ~ 6:30pm
Star of Hope Mission Transitional Living Center for Women & Families, 6801 Ardmore
A group of chicks and peeps will volunteer at Star of Hope Mission to serve meals at the Transitional Living Center.  Volunteer slots are very limited, so sign up today to help with lunch or with dinner.  

If you would like to bring any items to donate to Star of Hope (completely optional), they are in need of spices, condiments, herbs and salad dressings to add to the meals.  Their funding is tight, so they are not able to purchase those items on a regular basis.

Sunday, April 11

8am ~ Reliant Park
Join our team and support this great cause with us!  The Dr. Marnie Rose Foundation supports pediatric initiatives at Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital and brain cancer research at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.  The first 100 people to sign up with our team will get this free Charity Chicks team t-shirt.  Huge thanks to PODS Houston for sponsoring the printing of our very first t-shirt, and to Melissa Sims of Melrose Designs for designing it!

Friday, October 1
BRAtober, benefiting Bright Pink
Save the date!  The first BRAtober event in 2009 was such a success that we thought we'd be silly not to do it again.  We'll be once again seeking BRA ART entries, this time to benefit Bright Pink, an organization that provides education and support for young women who are at high risk for breast and ovarian cancer.  View photos from 2009's BRAtober event that raised money for The Save the Ta-tas Foundation:  the BRA ART, the cocktail party and fun photobooth snapshots of guests.
