💫Because I respect and believe in the power of a woman, I’ve decided to honor women in 2019 and beyond on my blog page. There will be one woman “embraced” at least once per week. There will be “no biases”, and the women will be representatives of all walks of life from all over the world who contribute “positively” to family, community, city, state, country, and therefore the world.
🌟Today’s Honoree
Philanthropist. One word describes who JANICE SUBER MCNAIR is and has been for decades. She has a genuine vein for humanity. Janice is well-known in the Houston, TX community for her philanthropic and civic commitment. Naming only a few of the organizations that she co-founded are The Robert and Janice McNair Foundation, the Houston Texans Foundation, the McNair Medical Institute and the Robert and Janice McNair Educational Foundation in Forest City, N.C. Janice supports a wide variety of charitable, scientific, literary, educational, and religious organizations. She’s also a strong supporter of the Houston Zoo, where the Janice Suber McNair Asian Elephant Habitat has been open since 1994.
Janice’s philanthropic spirit does not only dwell in the state of Texas but all over the the U.S. Columbia College in Columbia, SC {her alma mater}, has received hundreds of millions of dollars over the years in support of their programs and initiatives. To assist with the success of entrepreneurs at Columbia College, the McNair Center for Entrepreneurism was formed to establish customized coursework for students and include apprenticeships and mentoring networks among other features. Janice’s contributions have inspired a new generation of innovative young leaders at the college. Columbia College is one of at least eight institutions across the nation that benefits from The McNair Foundation.

A breast cancer survivor, Janice never hesitates to support women, in every aspect, who battle the disease. She could easily just write a check but Janice doesn’t operate that way. She takes the time to share her personal experiences and lend a helping hand when needed.
There are many wealthy people in the world and their munificences have a long list of benefactors.
Janice’s interest in human welfare by investing in private initiatives to promote public good sets her uniquely apart in many ways. Her desire is to help elevate the importance of humanity, encourage people to support causes to improve the quality of life and prevent social problems. Janice’s lifetime work will leave an indelible mark on the world.
Janice is a widow. She and her late husband, Robert “Bob” NcNair, were the longtime owners of the NFL franchise, the Houston Texans. Janice and her son now own the team.

Janice has a large family. She and Bob have four children: two daughters and two sons. They also have 15 grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Bob died in November 2018. Janice resides in Houston.
Encouraging all women to support and empower one another,
