We raised over $424,000 for SEARCH’s Tiny Treasures Programs at our 10th Annual Celebrate the Children gala!
Our Cirque de SEARCH event was unbelievable! The venue was beautiful, the food delicious, entertainment unbelievable and the silent auction well attended. What more can you say but thank you to everyone who supported our Celebrate the Children gala. We had 500 Houstonian’s in attendance, among them Councilman Adrian Garcia, Ambassador Arthur Schechter, Lorraine & Ed Wulfe, Melanie Lawson & John Guess, and Maureen & Jim Hackett.
Judge Eric Andell did an amazing job as our auctioneer. He not only entertained the audience with his charm and wit, he helped SEARCH raised $15,000 from the live auction alone. Our auction included incredible trips to Prince Edward Island and Hawaii plus the last ever autographed UT Jersey and Helmet by Vince Young.
Master of Ceremony, Jerome Gray, helped us stay true to our word…short on program, long on fun. And, what fun everyone had watching Cirque perform spine-bending, mind-tingling acts like the contortionist, Chandelier Balancing, Ariel Rope, Rolla Bolla and the unbelievable Statue Strength. After the performances everyone enjoyed dancing to the tunes of the Doppelganger Band.
You won’t want to miss our Bikers & Babes 2008 Celebrate the Children gala, date to be announced. With gala chairs Jan & Alan Selbst and co-chairs Nita & Nolan Bedford it is sure to be a fabulous time, but more importantly help raise much needed funds for SEARCH and its Tiny Treasures Programs.
