Whitestone REIT to Serve as Sponsor of Social Motion’s Spectrum of Tastes: Amplify Our Voices Fundraiser

HOUSTON, Oct. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Whitestone REIT (NYSE: WSR) (“Whitestone”) is proud to announce its support of Spectrum of Tastes: Amplify Our Voices, an annual fundraising event hosted by Social Motion, a program of The Center for Pursuit (“The Center”), by serving as a lead sponsor. This year’s fundraiser takes place on Thursday, October 19, 2023, at the Cherie Flores Garden Pavilion in Houston, and celebrates the tremendous accomplishments and successes of children and young adults with autism and special needs.

Social Motion provides social skills to individuals on the autism spectrum from pre-K to young adults. The program serves children, teens, and young adults challenged by autism, ADHD, social anxiety, and similar special needs through after-school social skills classes and young adult social groups.

“We are very proud supporters of The Center for Pursuit’s Social Motion program and are honored to serve as a sponsor for this year’s Spectrum of Tastes: Amplify of Voices fundraiser,” stated Christine Mastandrea, Whitestone COO. “Our company has personally benefited from the incredible work that Wendy and The Center’s team have done to prepare the program’s participants for professional life by equipping them with the necessary skill sets and training they need to excel. We look forward to celebrating the achievements of and hearing directly from the many talented children and young adults who are currently enrolled in the program on October 19.”

Whitestone has been a proud supporter of Social Motion since its founding in 2010 and has been a regular sponsor of Spectrum of Tastes: Amplify of Voices given the similarities in their respective missions. Both organizations are committed to helping people better connect with their communities through education and innovation.

“On behalf of The Center, I’d like to thank Whitestone for its many years of support for Social Motion,” said Wendy Dawson, founder of Social Motion. “In addition to serving as a sponsor of our fundraiser and champion of our efforts, Whitestone also employs one of our participants, who is thriving, so it’s incredibly rewarding to have such a deep relationship with the company.”
