The PaperCity Philanthropy in Fashion Houston Best Dressed honorees represent a cross section of backgrounds, interests and ages with two unifying characteristics. Each has an altruistic interest in contributing to the Bayou City and each has a defining style. The philanthropic femmes will be saluted on September 15 at a Post Oak Hotel luncheon benefiting March of Dimes.

In this special series, we are profiling each of the 2026 Houston Best Dressed honorees leading up to the PaperCity Philanthropy in Fashion Houston Best Dressed Luncheon & Neiman Marcus Fashion Presentation. Next up: Amanda Boffone, a first time Houston Best Dressed honoree.

This mother of two — 13-year-old Terry IV and 9-year-old Samantha — knows a thing or two about charitable commitments as Boffone served as development director for the Muscular Dystrophy Association for a number of years. She traded her profession for raising her children and contributing on the giving side of philanthropy and community leadership.
