The GEMS of Fort Bend: S. Scott West, Joe M. Gurecky and Carl P. Favre.
For the past five years, Fort Bend Focus Magazine has hosted a stellar evening honoring the JEWELS of Fort Bend – the Joyous, Extraordinary Women Enriching Lives. From 2008 to 2012, twenty-five Fort Bend women were honored as JEWELS in an exclusive annual event that raised nearly $100,000 for six community organizations. Today, this tradition of shining the spotlight on community servants while benefiting area non-profits continues with Fort Bend Focus and absolutely! Brazos Magazine’s new initiative: the GEMS of Fort Bend.
The GEMS of Fort Bend’s debut is scheduled for Thursday, October 24th, and the event honors three Generous, Enthusiastic Men Serving: Carl P. Favre, Joe M. Gurecky and S. Scott West. Featuring live entertainment and a “chips for charity” casino, the event will be held at the Imperial Center for the Arts located in Historic Downtown Rosenberg, and best of all, the proceeds will be invested back into the community by supporting AccessHealth. AccessHealth, formerly Fort Bend Family Health Center, is dedicated to excellence in providing integrated health care services that are affordable and accessible to the community at large.
“These men are role models for our community,” said Lisa Fredrickson, publisher of absolutely! focus media. “Our GEMS have not only helped build our community through their leadership, service and generosity, they have helped mold it into a remarkable place to live, work and raise our children. We are humbled by their giving spirits that exemplify the true meaning of the word service.”
Join the GEMS of Fort Bend – Carl, Joe and Scott – on October 24th for a fun-filled evening of entertainment provided by Imperial Arts, a casino, cocktails and a seated dinner – all to help make health care accessible to everyone in Fort Bend. Tickets are available by contacting absolutely! focus media at 281-690-4242.
