What: The Children’s Fund annual Gala
Where: Royal Sonesta Hotel
PC Moment: More than 800 well-heeled young guests, aged approximately from 30 to 40, filled the ballroom with enthusiasm as they raised a record setting $500,000 for a select group of local charities that make a difference in the lives of children and families in the Houston community. The organization has been holding this annual gala and raising funds for 45 years thanks to an unending flow of young couples with a sense of community spirit. Among the 17 charities benefiting are the Arbor School, Undies for Everyone and Making It Better.
The two couples leading the charge as chairs were Abigail and David Coleman, Deborah and John McInnes while a trio of couples — Julianna and Scott Moorad, Ashley and Jeff Pate, and Tricia and Lee Zieben — headed up the auction. With the Matt Wilson Band of Austin on stage, the group danced the night away amid an “Over the Rainbow” themed setting.
Who: Co-presidents Jennifer and Joel Moore; plus Libby and Matt Kafka, Elin and Tommy Jackson, Megan and Luke Hotze, Tiffani and Kirt Adams, Emily and Ryan Sweeney, Brooke and Cody Armbrister, Lara Marie and Aaron Thielhorn, Lane and Bob Schultz, Jennifer and Kyle Roane, Bekah and Casey Gorder, and Lindsey and Scott Gilley.
