LEGACY COMMUNITY HEALTH HOSTS LITTLE READERS FIESTA HONORING
BARBARA BUSH HOUSTON
LITERACY FOUNDATION
Houston, TX
- Legacy Community Health proudly hosted the 2025 Little
Readers Fiesta at the River Oaks home of Paige Fertitta,
celebrating a decade of the organization's commitment to early
childhood literacy. The event, presented by H-E-B and chaired by
Lisa Helfman, welcomed more than 150 guests for an evening
filled with celebration, community, and purpose.
This year’s Fiesta honored the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy
Foundation's steadfast dedication to advancing literacy
throughout Greater Houston. The Foundation and H-E-B are
partners in Legacy’s Little Readers program, which
promotes childhood literacy and reading aloud by providing every
pediatric patient with a free book and a "prescription to read"
at each well-child visit. Since 2015, the program has
distributed nearly 300,000 books to children across the
community.
"We are deeply honored to recognize the Barbara Bush Houston
Literacy Foundation for its incredible contributions to
literacy," said Chree Boydstun. "Together, we inspire a
new generation of readers and future leaders."
Guests enjoyed festive drinks, including tequila (donated by
Titanium Tequila) and sangria (donated by Queen Bee
Distilling) alongside a vibrant Mexican buffet. The Fiesta
successfully raised nearly $250,000, with all proceeds
benefiting the continued growth and impact of the Little Readers
program.
