PaperCity continues its series of profiles on the Philanthropy in Fashion Best Dressed honorees, Houston women who embrace the power of fashion and style by committing themselves to making the world a better place all the while dressing with style and grace. As designer Anne Klein notes: “Clothes aren’t going to change the world. The women who wear them will.” “
A proud native Houstonian, Kathryn Smith has an impressive history of community involvement. It is one that includes commitments as a founding member and president of the United Cerebral Palsy Guild and the same for The Center for Pursuit Guild, and for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Guild.
Today, Smith serves on the boards of Neuhaus Education Center, JDRF and Child Development Center.
When asked to share her roles as chair and co-chair of various fundraising events for nonprofits, the list had 18 entries. To name a few: Communities in Schools dinner, Houston Grand Opera wine classic, United Cerebral Palsy “Hats Off to Mothers” luncheon, Houston Ballet Ball and The Center for Pursuit luncheon, which she has chaired four times.
All of it done with great personal style thus earning Kathryn Smith Best Houston Dressed honors for the first time.
