Fashion, culture, and philanthropy unite for a night of heartfelt giving, supporting vulnerable children.
HOUSTON - eTradeWire -- Abandoned Little Angels (ALA), a Houston-based non-profit organization dedicated to transforming the lives of underprivileged children in Houston and Vietnam, successfully hosted its 23rd Annual "Nature Wonderland" Gala. The event took place on Friday, May 9, 2025, at 6:00 PM, at Houston's Vietnamese culinary staple, Kim Son.
This year's gala was co-chaired by Loanne Tran and YenLinh Luong, the entrepreneurs behind Bio Essentials V, creators of CleanScents. As the leading sponsor, CleanScents' plant-based products supported ALA's mission to provide a healthy, nurturing environment for children, complementing the gala's natural theme.
"Our gala was more than an event; it was an investment in the potential of children," stated Frances Chenne, Director of ALA. "Like a seed planted in fertile ground, ALA's work nurtures growth and cultivates hope for brighter futures."

The evening featured an exclusive Ao Dai showcase by renowned fashion designer Thai Nguyen, known for his creations on Netflix's "Say I Do" and his recent work at the Oscars. The showcase featured 14 unique designs, each representing a distinct region of Vietnam. Local Houston community members served as models, reflecting the vibrant diversity of the city's culture. Nguyen also signed copies of his children's book, "Mai's Ao Dai," an illustrated story that celebrates Vietnamese heritage.
Guests enjoyed a cocktail hour followed by a traditional Vietnamese dinner, with curated beverage stations featuring soju from Coam Beverage, boba from Happy Lemon, and Vietnamese coffee courtesy of Heritage 1857. Constantino Gelato offered an artisan gelato bar. Opportunities to bid on unique items and experiences were also available during a silent and live auction, with all proceeds directly supporting the organization's mission.
