AMARILLO, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) — The Laura W. Bush Institute for Women’s Health at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) is set to host “Girl Power: Girls In Real Life” from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Nov. 2 at the Amarillo Civic Center Grand Plaza.

TTUHSC detailed that check-in will be at 5:30 p.m., and tickets are priced at $5 per person. Officials encourage girls from Fifth to eighth grade to attend with a female guardian.

According to a TTUHSC press release, Amarillo native Taylor Paige Henderson, who recently played young Winifred Sanderson in Disney’s Hocus Pocus 2, will be the keynote speaker encouraging girls to grow their self-confidence.
