MCCF Gala Funds Local Nonprofits

**Montgomery County Community Foundation Embraces ‘The Godfather’ Theme for Annual Gala**

**CONROE, TX –** The Montgomery County Community Foundation (MCCF) is preparing to transport attendees back to the glamorous, if shadowy, world of 1940s New York for its annual Chairman’s Ball. This year, the signature fundraising gala is themed “The Godfather,” promising a night of classic cinema-inspired elegance and intrigue, all in support of local non-profit organizations.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 2, 2013, when “The Godfather” themed evening will unfold at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center. Doors open at 6:00 PM for a reception, setting the stage for dinner at 7:00 PM. Guests are encouraged to embrace the classic elegance of the era, perhaps with a touch of vintage flair, as they step into a world of “fine Italian dining, dancing, and intrigue.” The lively atmosphere will be further enhanced by live music from the renowned Grady Gaines and The Texas Upsetters, ensuring a memorable experience.

This sophisticated affair is spearheaded by the MCCF’s Chairman’s Ball Committee, with local philanthropists Nicole and David Knecht serving as co-chairs. Their mission, beyond curating an unforgettable night, is to raise critical funds for the MCCF, a vital philanthropic organization known for its consistent support of local non-profit agencies through strategic grants.

“We wanted to create an immersive and exciting experience that celebrates both the spirit of giving and an iconic piece of cinema,” said Nicole Knecht. “This year’s ‘Godfather’ theme allows us to blend classic Hollywood charm with the very real and important work of supporting our community. Every dollar raised directly translates into empowering local organizations that make a tangible difference in the lives of our neighbors.”

David Knecht added, “The Chairman’s Ball is our premier opportunity to unite community leaders, businesses, and individuals who share a commitment to enhancing Montgomery County. We are immensely grateful for the support that makes these grants possible, strengthening everything from educational programs to healthcare initiatives across the county.”

The success of the event is significantly bolstered by its dedicated sponsors. Anadarko Petroleum Corporation has stepped up as the Title Sponsor for the evening, demonstrating a strong commitment to local community development. Huntsman Corporation is also playing a crucial role, taking on the prestigious role of Presenting Sponsor. Their corporate partnerships are instrumental in allowing the MCCF to maximize the funds directed to its grant-making efforts.

The Montgomery County Community Foundation serves as a vital hub for philanthropy, connecting donors with local needs. Since its inception, the MCCF has awarded over $700,000 in grants to more than 60 non-profit organizations right here in the community. These funds have supported a diverse array of services, from local food banks and youth mentorship programs to arts organizations and environmental conservation efforts, strengthening the fabric of life throughout Montgomery County.

Individual tickets for this unique fundraising gala are priced at $200. Those looking to attend and contribute to the MCCF’s impactful mission are encouraged to secure their reservations promptly.
