Beauty for Ashes Luncheon 2025

You're invited to the Beauty for Ashes Fundraiser Luncheon on Friday, Nov. 14 at Walden on Lake Houston Country Club —a meaningful gathering in support of the Holocaust Remembrance Association’s ongoing mission. 

Support the Holocaust Remembrance Association’s mission to educate, inspire, and stand against antisemitism. Enjoy a gourmet lunch, silent auction, and keynote by Dr. Susanna Kokkonen, author of Holocaust Garden of Hope and former Director of Christian Friends of Yad Vashem.

Honorary Chairs Chris & Jason Parker as well as event co-chairs Aimee & Darren Barlow and Mariel Rocha-Narvaez welcome guests for this intimate afternoon which offers a powerful opportunity to gather in remembrance and raise essential funds that sustain our educational outreach, programming, and operational capacity year-round.

Join us as we honor Jose Castellanos, descendant of a Righteous Among the Nations hero responsible for rescuing over 40,000 Hungarian Jews, and support the continuing work of the HRA18.

Individual tickets: $75 | Sponsorships and table purchases encouraged
Funds raised during the luncheon directly support the continued daily work of HRA18—fueling our programs, partnerships, and public engagement.

Space is limited. Mark your calendar now and plan to join us for a day of reflection, celebration, and commitment to remembrance with purpose.
