Legacy's Holiday 'Schmooze' Returns, in Remembrance of Catering King Jackson Hicks

Lisa Foronda, Greg Harper

SINCE ITS FOUNDING by the late catering king and philanthropist Jackson Hicks, Legacy Community Health’s Schmooze has been a holiday bash that hundreds look forward to each year.


More than 250 festively clad guests were welcomed into the North Boulevard home of Richard Holt. A bountiful buffet and Christmas cocktails awaited, and partygoers admired the sparkling trees and holiday décor while raising money for The Jackson Hicks Endowed Fund for the Awareness, Prevention, and Treatment of HIV/AIDS at Legacy.

This year’s soiree was attended by heavy-hitters such as Bobby Dees, Hallie Vanderhider, Bill Baldwin, Fady Armanious, Vivian Wise, Shannon Hall and many others. Cheers!

Proceeds from the event will advance the foundation’s mission to improve the lives of children and adults through the power of literacy. For the late First Lady Barbara Bush, the ability to read, write, speak and listen, to comprehend and communicate with the world around us, was not only a fundamental human right but key to the economic health and social development of our communities.
