What: Legacy Community Health Holiday Schmooze
Where: The River Oaks home of Melissa and Michael Mithoff
PC Moment: Santa Baby had the merry throng of 150 guests rocking around the Christmas tree. The only thing missing was James Corden‘s “All I Want for Christmas” carpool karaoke. It’s one of the most popular parties of the season that packs a glam residence each December with folks supporting Legacy’s HIV/AIDS programs and services.
As is tradition, Jackson and Company provided the holiday libations and party fare for the evening that this year enjoyed a healthy contingent of chairs the Mithoffs, Monsour Taghdisi and Henry Richardson, Greggory and Pat Burk, John and Becca Cason Thrash, and Steve Summers and Glen Gonzalez.
Legacy leadership also sharing the holiday cheer were CEO Katy Caldwell and development director Chree Boydstun.
Cheer leaders: Annie Amante, Debbie Festari, Don Mafrige Jr., Mary Ann and David McKeithan, Ginni and Richard Mithoff, Gregory Fourticq, John Cone, Kathryn and Jeff Smith, Dominique Sachse and Nick Florescu, Derek Warburton, Shannon Hall, and Carolyn and Steve Mafrige.
