About Jack and Jill of America, Inc. Missouri City Sugar Land Chapter
Founded in 1975 by Mrs. Gladys Waddy as the Chasewood-Briargate Mothers Club in Southwest Houston, the Jack and Jill of America, Inc. Missouri City Sugar Land Chapter has grown into a thriving community organization serving families across Sugar Land, Texas. What began as a group of 60 families seeking culturally rewarding activities for their children has evolved into a chapter with deep roots in the Sugar Land area, officially becoming the Missouri City Sugar Land Chapter in 2008. The organization is built on the foundation that mothers with children ages 2-19 can work together to strengthen the next generation of African American leaders through meaningful relationships, shared values, and collective action. The chapter's history reflects a commitment to nurturing young people not just academically or socially, but culturally and civically—instilling in them the importance of volunteer service, philanthropic giving, and active participation in their communities. Today, the Missouri City Sugar Land Chapter continues this legacy by bringing families together around a shared mission of leadership development and community service. Members participate in signature events like the Biennial Beautillion Ball and connect with a national network of over 45 years of organizational excellence. For families in Sugar Land seeking a supportive community of like-minded mothers and a proven pathway for their children's development into engaged, responsible leaders, the chapter represents a unique opportunity to be part of a meaningful legacy of service and growth.
