Reserve your Seats for the Ceremony
Seats for the ceremony are limited, and we need to make sure we have adequate food, drinks and seating. So please make your reservations today.

The Awards Ceremony is not just a fun event, that recognizes some outstanding people and organizations. It’s also HPJC’s primary fundraiser for the year, that helps to cover expenses for our varied programs, including Peace Camp Houston.
Ticket prices:
This year, we are not having a specific ticket price. Instead, we have a suggested amount ($50/person) but you may pay more or less than this amount, depending on your personal financial situation and your interest in supporting HPJC financially. This event is our major fundraiser for the year, and it provides funds for our activities including Peace Camp Houston, our Working Groups, micro-grants for area non-profits, our web site, and online calendar of events.
We do ask that you make your reservation by Nov. 2 — earlier is better!
Food, Drinks, Location
We will not have a full dinner, but there will be plenty of food and drinks for all – another reason we need everyone to reserve seats in advance, so we’ll know how much food and how many chairs and tables will be needed.
The ceremony will be Sunday afternoon, Nov. 9 (after the general elections) at the Dominican Sisters of Houston Spirituality Center Meeting Room, 6501 Almeda Rd, Houston 77021. This is the same location of last year and we are thrilled that the Sisters are providing this venue for us again. This is just east of Hermann Park, north of Holcomb Blvd. There is plenty of free parking. Doors open at 2 pm, with food/ drinks/ reception starting then, with the program starting around 45 minutes later. Pre-registration is required!
