Each year, LEAD hosts a Mardi Gras Charity Event that unites philanthropic Houstonians for a festive evening filled with live entertainment, music, gourmet food, meaningful mission moments, auctions, raffles, and more! 

Join us at the legendary Golf Club of Houston - Tournament Course for a fine day of golf, delicious meals, on-course activities, drinks, and networking with business and community leaders. 

Created in honor of global best-selling author Barbara Taylor Bradford, the Women of Substance event celebrates remarkable women shaping Houston through their actions, service, and leadership. This event raises essential funds for youth programs, and LEAD is delighted to be the beneficiary. Join us for the 10th Anniversary, and be inspired!
