The most influential crowd ever? Community Champions take a preview bow at River Oaks manse
"A phenomenal list of philanthropic boldfaces" — what better way to describe the honorees who will walk the runway as Community Champions at the "Celebration of Champions" luncheon on Oct. 10, benefiting Texas Children's Cancer Center.
Luncheon founders and perpetual chairs Sidney Faust, Scott Basinger, Elsie Eckert and Judi McGee honored the 2014 "champions" and past luncheon honorees at a cocktail reception in Sidney and Don Faust's River Oaks home.
All set to take the spotlight at the River Oaks Country Club luncheon are champions Lilly and Thurmon Andress, Susan and Dan Boggio, Maria and Neil Bush, Gina and Jonathan Carroll, Liz and Brian Ching, Soraya and Scott McClelland, Lisa and Michael O’Leary, Lauren Freeman and Dr. Forrest Roth, Dr. Jennifer Segal and Justin Segal, Dr. Stephen Simko, Caralisa and Jerome Simon, Phoebe and Bobby Tudor and Phyllis Williams.
Could there be a stronger stable of H-Town influentials?
On hand to applaud the Community Champions and to savor the good eats from Jackson and Co. were guests including Ginger and Byron Bertrand, Mike Mann, Dr. David Poplack, Jeanie Kilroy and Wallace Wilson, Dr. ZoAnn Dreyer, Sissy Cheatham, Melissa Wilson, Albert Rubio and Sybil Roos.
