What: Kick Out Kidney Disease Luncheon: “Pump-A-Licious.”
Where: Hilton Americas-Houston.
Who: Luncheon chair Shawntell McWilliams; honorary chair Merele Yarborough; nationally renowned father-son kidney specialists Dr. Horacio J. Adrogué and Dr. Horacio E. Adrogué, recipients of the Crystal Slipper Award; Harriet Gertner, honored for more than 25 years of service to NKF and founder of this luncheon; Mayor Annise Parker, presenting honorees with proclamations; Lorna Hankins, Ernie Piña-Sandoval, Carolyn Farb, Marian Harper, Joanne King Herring, John Jamail Jr. and mom Shirlee Jamail, Jacqueline and Leon Kinloch, and Hallie Vanderhider.
PC Moment: “OMG, shoes!” So said more than 400 supporters of the National Kidney Foundation Serving Texas, who clicked their heels at the opportunity to celebrate a decade of the annual style show and luncheon. This year’s theme, “Pump-A-Licious,” was a loving tribute to the stiletto, with a runway show produced by Lenny Matuszewski and Tamara Bonar, starring looks from Elizabeth Anthony and Joseph shoes. The Ensemble Theatre opened the afternoon with a song-and-dance routine.
