About the Event

Join us as we support the Museum’s mission to provide engaging, hands-on learning experiences for Houston’s children. This year, we’re excited to welcome Dr. Amy Shah, author of I'm So Effing Tired: A Proven Plan to Beat Burnout, Boost Your Energy, and Reclaim Your Life, as our keynote speaker. Dr. Shah, a renowned integrative medicine doctor, will share insights from her book and research on overcoming burnout, fatigue, and stress—important topics for parents and families in today’s fast-paced world.

Luncheon proceeds will help fund the Museum’s early childhood and parenting programs, which are dedicated to building parenting skills, offering valuable information on child development, and helping families connect through the joy of learning together.
