Friends of The Periwinkle Foundation presents Hops & Hot Tamales, a fundraiser and “friend raiser” to thank current supporters and invite community members to learn more about the nonprofit. Guests will enjoy tamales and other goodies from El Patio, while sampling an array of local beers from Bad Astronaut Brewery Company.

Additionally, there will be games, brief presentations, and opportunities to engage with The Periwinkle Foundation staff, board members, long-term survivors and patients impacted by the organization’s programs, all in a fun and casual atmosphere.

The Periwinkle Foundation is a Houston-based nonprofit organization which develops and provides programs that positively change the lives of children, young adults and families who are challenged by cancer and other life-threatening illnesses and are cared for at Texas Children’s Hospital.
