About the Event
A Magical Night of Music, Memories & Community
The Heights Daddy-Daughter Dance is a magical event that celebrates the special bond between fathers and daughters. It's a night filled with enchanting moments, creating memories that last a lifetime.
The event is dedicated to fostering a strong connection and creating a joyful experience for all attendees. The theme for this year's dance is "An Emerald Evening", inspired by the enchanting world of The Wizard of Oz, where costumes are encouraged to add to the magical atmosphere.
While the event stems from the tradition of a Daddy-Daughter Dance, every girl is welcome to attend with a father, stepfather, grandfather, mother, family friend, or any special role model in her life.
An Emerald Evening: A Daddy–Daughter Dance
Benefiting Girls on the Run Greater Houston
We’re proud to share that we have partnered with Girls on the Run Greater Houston, a fully accredited 501(c)(3) nonprofit, as the fiscal sponsor and charitable beneficiary of the event.
Why This Partnership Matters
“An Emerald Evening” celebrates the powerful bond between fathers (and father figures) and their daughters — a relationship shown to be one of the most significant predictors of confidence, resilience, and emotional well-being in girls.
Girls on the Run Greater Houston (GOTR) is an organization built around those same values. Through evidence-based programs, mentorship, and social-emotional learning, GOTR empowers girls in 3rd–8th grade to build confidence, develop leadership skills, foster healthy relationships, and find their voice. Their work changes lives at an age where it matters most.
All proceeds and sponsorships from An Emerald Evening will support Girls on the Run Greater Houston’s programs, scholarships, volunteer training, and expansion into more local schools.
