We Are Men of Distinction

Men of Distinction

a simple vision

Beginning With An Inspired Goal and Gumption

The Men of Distinction began in 2007 with a small group of steering committee volunteers desiring to pay tribute to MEN in the Houston community who had distinguished themselves through their leadership as businessmen, volunteers, and philanthropists. Simultaneously, they wanted to raise funds to support pediatric biomedical research, education, and patient care in the Texas Medical Center.

Today, we’ve formed a foundation that continues to move forward into advancing the future, recognizing Houstonians who have distinguished themselves through excellence in community achievement.

The inaugural luncheon made an impressive impact on the community by raising more than $325,000 – all of which was invested back into Houston’s medical community. To date, the annual luncheon has raised more than $6+M for various programs through the Texas Medical Center.

Providing Purpose With Lasting Benefits

In keeping with the spirit of philanthropy shown by the distinguished gentlemen, ALL of the proceeds from the luncheon stay right here in Houston for the direct benefit of children’s causes at the Texas Medical Center. Through this support and recognition, community attention and philanthropic backing are ultimately focused on improving healthcare for children through medical research.

Each year, as we consistently feature the work of our distinguished Honorees and Awardees (Beneficiaries) at the luncheons, we endeavor to keep the Men of Distinction organization synonymous with supporting “bench to bedside” medical partnerships.

Please consider partnering with us as we endeavor to make a lasting impact on the health and wellness of future generations.
