    Two H-Town bombshells with charity cred get a lot of national media love

    Two of H-Town's glamorous buxom blondes are making national news this week — one for a mega-closet, the other for a canine focus — and both for their charitable bent.

    Kristi Schiller is the latest to garner national ink with a feature in People magazine about K9s4COPS, the non-profit that she has ardently supported since founding it in 2010. Schiller and her team are the subject of a two-page "Heroes Among Us" profile in the July 28 issue where this "wise-cracking Texan with a colorful past," as she is described, makes the case for supporting the non-profit.

    The magazine reports that since its founding K9s4COPS has provided 60 dogs (minimum cost $10,000 each) to police agencies in 17 states.

    This is not Schiller's first moment of national attention. Her team had one of the premier floats in the Rose Parade on New Year's Day, 2014, introducing the non-profit to millions of viewers.

    On Sunday, Good Morning America jumped on the Theresa Roemer closet story that has made news this week with online and televised reports after CultureMap highlighted a piece about it on the Neiman-Marcus blog. The piece on Roemer's three-story, 3,000 square foot closet was the subject of the Pop Culture moment, nicely placed between news of Adame Levine's marriage and a video gone viral of a cowboy twerking for his young daughter.

    Reporter Sarah Haines noted, "Forget the beer fridge, this place also has a champagne bar. Classy!" She added that Roemer entertains in the closet for charity fundraisers.

    Theresa Roemer, shown here with husband Lamar Roemer, made Good Morning America's Pop Culture moment on Sunday.

    The Scoop: A ballroom filled with Houston philanthropists gathered at River Oaks Country Club as CHRISTUS Foundation for HealthCare hosted its 22nd annual Spring Luncheon, raising $403,000 in support of CHRISTUS St. Mary’s Clinic. Co-chaired by Reagan Fibbe, Emily Harris, and Lindsey Harris, the luncheon balanced heartfelt storytelling with a celebration of longtime service to Houston’s underserved communities.

    SportsRadio 610’s Sean Pendergast emceed the afternoon, while Sisters Hannah O’Donoghue, Celeste Trahan, and Rosanne Popp of the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word – Houston shared personal stories about joining the Sisterhood and caring for vulnerable populations locally and abroad. The Most Reverend Joe S. Vasquez, Archbishop of the Galveston-Houston Archdiocese, delivered the invocation.

    The event also recognized four Legacy Award honorees for more than two decades of service: Laura Clay and Sr. Theresa Kelleher of the CHRISTUS Healthy Living Mobile Clinics, Sr. Rosanne Popp of CHRISTUS St. Mary’s Clinic, and Lori Varela of CHRISTUS Our Daily Bread. Funds raised support CHRISTUS St. Mary’s Clinic, which provides uninsured patients with access to primary care, mental health services, vaccinations, cancer screenings, and prescription assistance.

    Who: Katy Turner, Rachel Levin, Donna Harris, Barbara Roseman, Cecile Deutschen, Linda Domino, Mary Bozell, Betty Norkus, Mary Fairbrother, Jean Phillips, Theresa Quartaro, Joyce Standish, Charlene Brandau, Judy Agee, M.J. Alvarado, Lacey Becker, Michael Niebuhg, Cody Dick, Hyun Kim, and Rebecca Li.
