A letter from our president

An evening of connection
& community

Dear Friend, on behalf of the JVPNG Foundation, I would like to personally invite you to join us for our inaugural Gala — a special black-tie evening bringing together business leaders, community partners, entrepreneurs, and supporters from across the Houston area for a night centered on connection, collaboration, and community impact.

As JVPNG celebrates 15 years of serving and supporting local businesses, we are excited to launch this next chapter through the ongoing work of the Foundation — a faith-led nonprofit that equips entrepreneurs and small business owners with the education, mentorship, and support they need to thrive.

Thank you for your consideration, your partnership, and your belief in the power of community.

Naomi J. Dingle
Chief Visionary & President, JVPNG Foundation Partner, JVPNG LLC

Good questions

Before you ask

What should I wear?
Black tie. It is the Foundation’s first gala — dress like it. Tuxedos, evening gowns, your finest. You will not be overdressed.
How do I pay for my seats?
However suits you. After you reserve, we show you Zelle (donations@jvpng.com — bank to bank, no processor fees, every dollar arrives) or we simply send you an invoice. A board member confirms every reservation personally.
Is my ticket tax deductible?
The JVPNG Foundation is a nonprofit; a portion of your ticket above the value of the evening may be deductible. We will include the details with your confirmation.
Where is Gallery Furniture?
Gallery Furniture, Houston — full arrival details, parking and timing come with your confirmation, closer to the evening.
Can I donate without attending?
Absolutely, and thank you. Add a gift to any reservation, donate a silent-auction item, or give directly at our giving page.
