Former President George W. Bush’s daughter, Barbara Pierce Bush, is headlining a Planned Parenthood fundraiser for a Texas branch of the organization.

Bush is scheduled to deliver the keynote address at Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas' annual Fort Worth luncheon on Wednesday, according to the Texas Tribune.

The event helps raise money for the agency, which provides reproductive and health services, including abortions, for lower income women.

Bush is the co-founder and CEO of Global Health Corps, an organization that seeks to address healthcare inequities around the world.

“We are a leadership development organization focused on health equity. We are building a global community of diverse young leaders changing the face of global health,” the group said in a statement on its website.

Barbara Pierce Bush will be the keynote speaker at Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas' annual Fort Worth luncheon this Wednesday.
