Two hundred and forty-one people joined Emcee and KTRKs Gina Gaston at the Ballroom at Bayou Place on Saturday, November 4th to enjoy fine dining from Masraff’s, a great selection of wine and most importantly, to raise more than $287,000 to support the Making It Better mission to transform lives through literacy. Dr. Scott Van Beck received the Excellence in Education award while Vinson & Elkins took home the Corporate Honoree award for their tremendous support of Making It Better.
The event also highlighted the Making It Better Decade of Dedicated Donors who have supported the organization since its founding: Kimberly & Scott Bayley, Carol Bright-Wiggins, Karen & Dwight Dunlap, Lisa & John Stoika, Karen & Rick Swerdlow, and Sarah & Scott Van Beck.
Gala Chairs: Rachel & Jerry Davis with Mignon & Steve Gill. Gala Committee Members: Melanie & Chris Bibb, Andrea & Chris Campbell, Sarah & Shamus Crosby, Holly & Breen Haire, Joi & James Morrison, Erica & Bobby Rouse, Cristina & Creighton Smith, and Lechauncy & Steven Solari.
Last, but certainly not least, a big thank you to longtime friend and the evening’s Emcee – Gina Gaston.
