    Cocktails For A Cure

    Key to the Cure party is Destination Glam for Houston's social set as pink reigns supreme

    There’s nothing better than a mid-week cocktail party to bring out the glitterati for a good cause. Saks Fifth Avenue was definitely destination glam Wednesday night for the annual Key to the Cure event.

    From chilled cocktails to chic dresses, pink reigned supreme at Key to the Cure, which raised funds for Breast Care Centers at Memorial Hermann. Chairs Jo Lynn Falgout, Christine Falgout and Kimberly Falgout mixed and mingled with more than 250 people who partied with a purpose.

    There certainly were no shortage of beauty stops and shopping opportunities throughout the store. Guests lined up for hand massages at Jo Malone, nail polish refreshes by Paloma, and the party perfect blowouts from the stylists at Prestige & Creation Salon.

    Bubba McNeely provided the evening’s soundtrack with live covers of '70s and '80s favorites and artist Franco Mondini-Ruez delighted shoppers with pop-up paintings in the handbag department.

    While the music played, guests enjoyed stylish sips from Mount Gay Rum, Titanium Tequila and light bites compliments of 51 Fifteen, State of Grace and Weights & Measures.

    Saks Fifth Avenue is keeping the party spirit going through Sunday donating a percentage of sales to cancer research and treatment. The exclusive $35 Christian Louboutin-designed T-shirt is also on sale in-store and online and all sales from the shirt are donated to the cause.

    The colorful crowd included Claudie and Rino Jasper, Debi McNabb, Laurie Horner, Claire Theilke, Mosie Hackett, Kathleen Jennings, Bethany Buchanan, Karina Barbieri, Cinda and Armamdo Palacios, Stacy Johnson, Kathryn Arnoldy, Jana Arnoldy, Kim and Dan Moody, Ashley Vallone, Holly Alvis, Lindley Arnoldy, Ting Bresnahan, Yvonne Cormier, Susan Sarofim, Christina Stith, Vicki West, Julie Voss, Mary Ann and David McKeithan, Lisa and Jerry Simon and Gregg Falgout.

    True Blue

    Time-travel DeLorean drives $1M evening for HPD at Fertitta estate

    The future — and Houston’s finest — collided in style at the 17th Annual Houston Police Foundation True Blue Gala, where a cinematic time machine and tactical simulations took over one of River Oaks’ iconic addresses.

    More than 550 supporters decked in every shade of blue descended on the Fertitta Family Residence for a sold-out, $1 million – raising evening themed “Back to the Future.” From the get-go, nostalgia revved into high gear as the original DeLorean time machine welcomed guests at the door, turning the luxury estate into a flashback-fueled, photo-friendly playground.

    As guests have become accustomed to, this isn’t your standard step-and-repeat soirée.

    Imagine being thrown into the action — quite literally — as attendees participated in immersive, high-risk simulations helmed by HPD’s elite forces. SWAT hosted a shooting arcade, taser target practice got hearts racing, and the Bomb Squad, Dive Team, DWI Task Force, and Air Support dazzled with hands-on demos. Even HAL, that’s HPD’s robotic K9, made rounds like a celebrity, pausing for selfies and sniffing out good vibes.

    The program got serious and seriously real when Houston Police Chief Noe Diaz, executive director Charlene Floyd, and event chair Laura Ward took the mic. But any sense of calm was quickly interrupted when a staged terrorist threat exploded in the backyard.

    Gunfire. Tactical takedowns. The crowd stunned into silence.

    The live reenactment gave attendees a glimpse of the daily bravery HPD officers bring to their duty. To cap it all off? A fireworks finale that lit up the night sky in salute to the city’s brave protectors and the community that proudly stands behind them.

    Summoning their inner Marty McFly were Alice and Keith Mosing, Kristina and Paul Somerville, Patrick Fertitta, Blake Fertitta, Michael Fertitta, Blayne Fertitta, John Eddie Williams, Dr. Michael Kaplan, Laura and Don Sanders, Terry and Patrick Henry, Joe Van Matre, Sheriff Jimmy Fullen, and Constable Alan Rosen.
