Houston Hospice 24th Butterfly Luncheon

Alua Arthur, America’s leading death doula, will be the special guest at the Houston Hospice 24th Butterfly Luncheon. She captivates audiences with her relatable perspective on death, dying, and everything in between.

A New York Times bestselling author of “Briefly Perfectly Human: Making an Authentic Life by Getting Real About the End,” this memoir reframes how we think about death and explores how death can help us lead better more fulfilling, and authentic lives.

At the luncheon’s close, guests can chat with Alua and snap a selfie during a book signing. Our Houston Hospice volunteers will share the spotlight with Alua as we celebrate them during National Volunteer Month.

Proceeds from the luncheon support Houston Hospice and our pediatric Butterfly Program, which cares for our youngest and most vulnerable patients.

Monica Hampton, chair of this year’s luncheon, experienced firsthand the impact and importance the Butterfly Program has on families when her son, Jake, was a patient several years ago. She and her family shared her story as the keynote speaker at the 2023 Butterfly Luncheon. Gina Gaston, lead anchor for ABC13 Houston, will serve as emcee.
