Lance McCullers Jr. and His Wife Fight for Animals, Push to Make Houston a No-Kill City

What: Houston PetSet’s “Fierce & Fabulous Soirée”

Where: The Post Oak Hotel

PC Moment:  Kara and Lance McCullers Jr. are huge supporters of our four-legged friends. Through the Lance McCullers Jr. Foundation, the Houston Astros pitcher and his wife advocate for stray and homeless animals across the country while supporting local rescue groups and funding weekly transports of shelter animals to rescues in surrounding states. And, of course, they are all for pet adoptions.

Their goal: Make Houston a no-kill city. With all of that on the plate, who better to be honored at the 15th annual gala of the nonprofit dedicated to supporting area animal welfare groups.

Lance McCullers’s remarks were highlight of the gala program that included words from the Reverend Gregory Han of Interfaith Ministries and Laura Halloran of the Texas Humane Legislation Network.

Securing the fabulousness of the event was the VIP pre-party, hosted by Fabergé. Guests sipped champagne while checking out the two carat emerald ring, donated by Fabergé for the live auction. DJ Senega spun the tunes to the accompaniment of saxophonist Andre Killian. Also contributing to the glam factor was the trio of ravishing blonde chairs — Tena Lundquist Faust, Kisha Itkin and Tama Lundquist. Under their impassioned leadership, the evening raised more than $440,000 for animal welfare efforts throughout the city.

As a symbol of their animal goodwill, the chairs welcomed street pooches from Corridor Rescue.
