Beat the Heat at Children’s Books on Wheels Event Details:

Children’s Books On Wheels is presenting a special “White Party” to benefit its “Shoes for Scholars” program on Saturday, August 27. The event will take place from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. at the Sleepy Hollow Multipurpose Building in the Tamina community of Conroe.

“A lot of people ask me what a ‘white party’ is,” said Rita Wiltz, executive director of Children’s Books on Wheels, a nonprofit organization that is devoted to building education, health and financial literacy for underprivileged individuals and families throughout the region. “I tell them that this is Texas, it’s summer, and it’s hot, so this is a social event where they can dress cool and wear white.”

The party will feature live music by Ray Parsee & The Allstars – a local group that specializes in Motown classics, old school funk, R&B, jazz and Top 40 party music – featuring Evette Busby and Cliff (Love) Duncan. Beyond the music and social experience, the $25 admission also treats partygoers to a Caribbean menu catered by island chef Miss Cato.

Funds raised at the party will go to CBOW’s “Shoes for Scholars” program, where disadvantaged schoolchildren will be provided gift cards to buy themselves new shoes for the school year. “Few things make children feel better about themselves than when they are able to purchase their own new shoes,” said Wiltz.

Tickets are available at the door or can be purchased in advance by calling 281-844-7596. The party will take place at 9845 Sleepy Hollow in Conroe, 77385, east of The Woodlands Mall off the Interstate 45 North Tamina exit.

Established in 2004, Children’s Books on Wheels, is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that promotes literacy through an array of mobile education, health and financial literacy services for the people of Montgomery, Walker, Waller, Austin and Colorado counties. All services are in English, Spanish and Vietnamese. To learn more about Children’s Books on Wheels, visit www.childrensbooksonwheels.org or call 281-844-7596.
