The Blue Bird Circle 2020 Spring Luncheon
Dear Friends,As things continue to unfold in the Houston area related to concerns about the spread of the Coronavirus, it seems prudent to cancel or reschedule large public gatherings. As a result, the decision has been made to postpone The Blue Bird Circle Spring Luncheon, originally scheduled on Thursday, March 26th.This decision was not made lightly and was made in consultation with our luncheon co-chairs, president of The Blue Bird Circle and members of the board. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and disappointment this may cause. We are so grateful to our underwriters, table sponsors, host committee, Blue Bird volunteers and ticket holders for all of their work and support to make this an incredible event.We are working to secure a new date for this fall and will be sure to send out an update as soon as we are confirmed. We look forward to seeing you all then, as your table and ticket purchases will simply transfer to the new date.
Thank you for your support and understanding. We greatly appreciate it.
Join us for our Spring Luncheon, TBD at The Briar Club located at 2603 Timmons Lane. This will be our only fundraiser for this year.
Our guest speakers, Dr. Peter Hotez will address Vaccine Diplomacy in the 21st Century, and Dr. Clifford Fry will give a talk on The Blue Bird Circle and Rett Syndrome: A Family’s Journey.
The Blue Bird Circle has sought to give back to the Houston community by supporting the research and medical treatments that benefit children with neurological disorders and that mission continues today.

The Blue Bird Circle 2019 Spring Luncheon
12:00 noon Luncheon and Speakers
Join us for our Spring Luncheon on April 11, 2019, at The Briar Club located at 2603 Timmons Lane, Houston, Texas 77027. This will be our only fundraiser for this year.
Our guest speakers, Dr. Elizabeth McIngvale and Jim “Mack” McIngvale, will address The Importance of Family and Community Support in a Health Crisis.
The Blue Bird Circle has sought to give back to the Houston community by supporting the research and medical treatments that benefit children with neurological disorders and that mission continues today.
Imagine Olivia, who has symptoms of autism, cerebral palsy and epilepsy, who cannot speak, who often experiences breathing difficulties, seizures, and repetitive hand movements. This is Rett syndrome, a debilitating neurological disorder.
Imagine Isaac, a child with epileptic seizures, as many as 100 seizures daily. The medications that once controlled his seizures are no longer effective. Unable to attend school, the seizures have affected his memory, his concentration, his motor skills.
Rett syndrome, epilepsy, autism, muscular dystrophy, Batten’s Disease and a whole host of other neurological disorders are treated at The Blue Bird Circle Clinic for Pediatric Neurology at Texas Children’s Hospital.
The Blue Bird Circle provided the initial funding for and continues to provide sustaining support for research in pediatric neurology, including:
The Blue Bird Circle Clinic for Pediatric Neurology
The Blue Bird Circle Developmental Neurogenetics Laboratory
The Blue Bird Circle Rett Center
The Blue Bird Circle Clinical Research Center
Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine researchers are on the cutting edge of curing epilepsy, and therapeutic trials of cures will begin this year for the devastating disorder of Rett syndrome! Their research and advances in treating neurological disorders continue to astound the medical community, ranking Texas Children’s Hospital #3 in the country in children’s neurology and neurosurgery.
Again, the Spring Luncheon will be our only fundraiser this year. Your generous donation can bring us one step closer to finding cures for children with devastating neurological disorders.
