The Astros Foundation hosted its annual Champions for Healthy Families Luncheon and Fashion Show on Friday, May 9, at Union Station and Daikin Park. Presented by Shaftel Diamonds and styled by Tootsies, the event brought together Astros players, families, and community supporters for an afternoon dedicated to promoting healthy families and raising funds for the Foundation’s outreach efforts.

Co-chaired by Whitney Crane, Krystal Cane Thompson, and Adrienne Crane, the event featured a vibrant fashion show highlighting the wives and girlfriends of Astros players, coaches, and staff. Styled by Tootsies and adorned in jewelry from Shaftel Diamonds, the models brought glamour and energy to the runway.

A powerful addition this year included four young cancer survivors from the nonprofit Sunshine Kids, who took to the runway in apparel from the Astros Team Store. Their presence added a deeply emotional and inspiring element to the event, underlining the Foundation’s broader mission of supporting those facing life’s toughest challenges.

The event saw a strong turnout from the Astros organization, with players including Jose Altuve, Lance McCullers Jr., Spencer Arrighetti, Ronel Blanco, Jake Meyers, and others attending to support their families. Manager Joe Espada, along with coaches, training staff, and front office members, also joined to show solidarity and celebrate the Foundation’s work.

Julia Morales Clark, sideline reporter for Space City Home Network, emceed the fashion show alongside Tootsies’ creative director Fady Armanious. The duo offered commentary on each look, adding flair and fun to the afternoon program.

The luncheon also served as a platform for announcing upcoming Foundation events. Highlights included the Hall of Fame Wine Dinner set for September 13 and the 2025 Diamond Dreams Gala presented by Chevron, scheduled for November 15 at Daikin Park. The gala will feature a performance by musical artist Flo Rida.

As one of the Astros Foundation’s signature events, the Champions for Healthy Families Luncheon and Fashion Show continues to unite the community through fashion, compassion, and the shared goal of empowering families and strengthening neighborhoods across Houston.
