Elizabeth Smart Speaks to Capacity Crowd at Event Benefitting the Interfaith Community Clinic

THE WOODLANDS, TX – Elizabeth Smart shared her story of courage and strength with more than 200 guests attending the first annual “Women Empowering Women” luncheon which was held on Friday, May 2, at The Woodlands Country Club – Palmer Course. The event, which sold out months in advance, raised more than $75,000 for the Interfaith Community Clinic.

“We were so honored to have Elizabeth Smart as our special guest during this inaugural event for the Interfaith Community Clinic. Her story is incredible, and she is a remarkable young woman. The guests were equally excited to hear her words of faith and overcoming adversity,” said Dr. Ann Snyder, President and CEO of the Interfaith community Clinic.

Copies of Elizabeth’s book, “My Story” sold out during the reception portion of the event, and guests were able to meet Elizabeth and get their book signed at the conclusion of the luncheon.

The Interfaith Community Clinic opened its doors in 1996 to meet the medical needs of the uninsured population. As the needs of the community have grown, so have the services offered at the clinic. Today, the clinic continues to provide quality basic medical and dental care, counseling and patient services to individuals in need. A volunteer staff of licensed physicians, nurses, medical providers, dentists, dental assistants, dental hygienists, as well as translators and support personnel work together to provide patient care. Programs are provided free of charge and are funded by the generous financial support of grants, faith based organizations, businesses, civic groups, and individuals.
