Honorees

Samantha served on our Board for six years and has served on our Advisory Board for the past four years. She has chaired our gala twice, first in 2013 and again in 2023, and has also played a significant role in our annual Christmas on a Mission event each holiday season.

She and David support numerous charitable organizations throughout Houston and are always willing to step forward when asked to make a difference.

Monica founded Christmas on a Mission, which she has led for the past 15 years, helping provide a meaningful holiday experience for The Mission of Yahweh residents.

She has also supported and been honored by many organizations in our community for her philanthropic work. Through her company, JoyCare, she continues helping families as a certified caregiver with a deep personal commitment to serving those in need.

Warner believes deeply in giving back to the City of Houston, which has given so much to her. She has spearheaded countless events, served on numerous boards, and been recognized with many awards for her extraordinary volunteerism.

People often say Warner has “the heart of an angel,” and we all know that is absolutely true.

Warner has served as a special advisor to The Mission of Yahweh since the fundraising event began in 2007. Since that time, approximately $3 million has been raised to support The Mission of Yahweh.

Robin and Danny Klaes truly reflect the heart of this community. They don’t just show up; they lead with generosity and purpose. Across Houston, they’ve quietly made a difference by supporting organizations like the American Cancer Society, Stages, Easter Seals, Trees of Hope, SEARCH, and so many others. The Mission of Yahweh is honored to have them chairing this event.
