What: Seven Acres Jewish Senior Services annual gala
Where: Hilton Americas Houston
PC Moment: It was a great evening for the 500-plus guests that filled the hotel ballroom with the spirit of generosity as the throng raised more than $1.3 million for Seven Acres’ varied programs that provide assisted living along with physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs in the Jewish tradition.
Gala leadership was spearheaded by chairs Cindy and Gary Greenberg and Gail and Gary Swartz, honorary chairs Rhona and Bruce Caress, and auction chair Bonnie Winograd.
As is tradition, the evening saluted community leaders who have been specially committed to the success of Seven Acres. Vicky and Michael Richker received the Joyce Proler Schechter Spirit of Life Award.
It was an unforgettable introduction of the honorees, handled by Schechter herself, Vicky Richker’s daughter Elizabeth Warren and Michael Richker’s son Jonathan Richker. As the couple accepted the award, Jonathan Richker sang Everything’s Coming Up Roses, making a little twist on the lyrics to include Seven Acres.
Seven Acres president Michael Feinstein revealed new leadership, congratulating Marsha Cayton as the new CEO of Seven Acres and The Medallion, the nonprofit’s assisted living facility.
Pleased with the strong support for Seven Acres, Feinstein noted, ““We are grateful to the ongoing and unwavering support, involvement and investment in our senior community.”
It was also a special evening for emcee Linda Lorelle, whose mother is a residences of Seven Acres. Lorelle was joined at the podium by fellow emcee Khambrel Marshall.
