On a Distinct Mission

our mission

Recognizing Distinguished Biomedical Research, Patient Care, and Educational Excellence

The mission of the Men of Distinction, Annual Awards & Fundraising Luncheon is to recognize Houstonians (Honorees) who have distinguished themselves through excellence in community achievement, thereby providing support in the following areas—

Special Needs Girl

Mission Proceeds

The Men of Distinction proceeds are raised by Houstonians and remain in the Houston community to help support clinician/research scientists and partnerships. In this way, community attention and philanthropic support are focused on improving healthcare through pediatric medical research benefiting children and future generations.

We featured the work of our distinguished honorees at each annual luncheon, enabling Men of Distinction to become synonymous with supporting “bench to bedside” medical partnerships.

Please consider partnering with us today to positively impact the health and wellness of our future generations.

Selecting Men of Distinction & Honorees & Beneficiaries

Each year, all research, education, and patient care programs in the Texas Medical Center are eligible for Men of Distinction support. Annual honorees and beneficiaries are chosen by a unanimous vote of the Men of Distinction Steering Committee.

The Steering Committee consists of men and women in the community who desire to help promote our charitable endeavors. This board committee is composed of the following members:
