What: Houston PetSet “Fierce & Fabulous Soirée”
Where: The Post Oak Hotel
PC Moment: While the cocktail attire evening had plenty of energy, the vivacity ratcheted up with the start of the Houston PetSet live auction which featured absolutely must-have items. Some would say the crazy bidding was downright raucous.
Consider the trip to Super Bowl LVIII with Rob Gronkowski, a VIP experience at the much anticipated first Formula 1 Grand Prix in Las Vegas and the chance to play with tennis superstar John McEnroe at Wimbledon or the French Open.
If those didn’t send bidders into a frenzy, there was the Yellowstone component. How about an in-home dinner for 24 with popular Dutton Ranch Chef Gabriel ‘Gator’ Guilbeau in the kitchen or a Bourbon & Bonfire weekend experience in Montana? A breathtaking diamond bracelet from iTouch diamonds dazzled as the evening’s final auction item.
Also contributing to the bottom line was a luxury timepiece from de Boulle Diamond and Jewelry which was the raffle prize that inspired plenty of ticket sales as did the bountiful silent auction.

Recurring gala chairs Tama Lundquist and Tena Lundquist Faust, joint presidents of Houston PetSet, were joined chairing the soirée this year by co-chairs Brisa Field and Sandra Smith-Cooper.
Another fundraising mechanism new to the gala was the Mission Market in which guests could “bid” on unique opportunities that would aid animals and their families.
The evening honored the Leslie L. Alexander Foundation, which has long been recognized for its support of animal welfare in the Houston area.
