   Small Steps Nurturing Center: Charity Gala Spotlight

   In this episode of An Ounce of Prevention, guest host Morgan Gilmore sits down with Barbara Allen, Executive Director of Small Steps Nurturing Center, to explore the organization’s mission to provide high-quality early childhood education to economically at-risk children and their families in Houston’s Fifth Ward and Gulfton communities. Barbara shares how Small Steps prepares children for kindergarten and beyond through early education, social-emotional development, and family support. She discusses the importance of investing in children during their earliest years, the lasting impact of building relationships with families, and how the organization helps create opportunities for children to thrive long after they leave the classroom. The conversation also highlights ways Houston’s business community can support Small Steps through corporate partnerships, volunteer opportunities, and fundraising events. As a featured charity of the 2026 Dealmaker’s Halloween Charity Gala, Small Steps Nurturing Center demonstrates how investing in children and families today can help build a stronger community for tomorrow.

   Houston Public Media: Charity Gala Spotlight

   What happens when a community loses a critical source of local information? On this episode of An Ounce of Prevention, guest host Morgan Gilmore sits down with Josh Adams, Associate Vice President and General Manager of Houston Public Media, to explore the role public media plays in keeping Houston informed, connected, and prepared. From trusted local journalism and emergency alerts to television, radio, podcasts, education, and community programming, Houston Public Media serves millions of people across the region. But that work has faced a major challenge: the loss of federal funding has left the organization relying entirely on support from the community. Josh shares what that shift has meant for Houston Public Media, why locally produced journalism matters, and how Houstonians have stepped up to help protect a resource they believe is essential to the community. Houston Public Media is one of the three beneficiaries of this year's Dealmaker's Halloween Charity Gala, where 100% of proceeds will be donated to the featured charities. Listen to learn more about the work happening behind the scenes to keep Houston informed, connected, and safe, and why supporting the organizations that serve our community matters.

   Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston: Charity Gala Spotlight

   In this episode of An Ounce of Prevention, guest host Morgan Gilmore is joined by Tiffany Wesson-Clavelle, Development Director with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston, to highlight one of the featured charities benefiting from the 2nd Annual Dealmaker's Halloween Charity Gala. Tiffany shares how the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston has evolved since its founding in 1952 and now serves more than 18,000 youth across 20 club facilities in five counties. She discusses the organization's focus on providing young people with safe, structured environments and access to resources including caring mentors, transportation, homework assistance, organized sports, career development, leadership opportunities, and more. The conversation also explores the people and partnerships behind that work. Tiffany explains how corporate partners, individual donors, and special events help make the organization's programming possible, including its $100 annual membership, which gives young people access to a full year of programming and support. She also shares her personal "why" and what keeps her motivated to create opportunities for young people, particularly opportunities that may not otherwise be accessible to them. Morgan and Tiffany discuss the Boys & Girls Clubs' Youth of the Year program, which gives teens opportunities to develop leadership skills, explore career paths, build community connections, share their personal stories, and pursue scholarships for their next steps in education. Tiffany also reflects on the organization's lasting impact, including former club members who return as staff and leaders, and the significance of seeing young people recognize what is possible for their futures. Learn more about the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston at BGCGH.org. The 2nd Annual Dealmaker's Halloween Charity Gala takes place October 22, 2026, from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. at Meow Wolf, Radio Tave in Houston.
