'Havana Nights' Bash Benefiting Be An Angel Brings Drinks, Dancing and Tropical Vibes

Anna & John Reger

MORE THAN 400 guests poured into The Revaire, dressed in tropical prints and flowing dresses, for Be An Angel's annual gala, which this year adopted a Havana Nights theme.


The evening featured a wine and whiskey pull with more than 200 bottles that were scooped up in the first 30 minutes! Later, an auction with items like getaways to a French villa and Belize contributed to the evening's total till of $600,000.

The Cuarteto Caliente Latin Band performed a spicy ballroom dance, and then Be An Angel's Marti Boone presented the 2023 Angel Awards. Recipients included the late Raymond Solcher and Apollo 7 Astronaut Walter Cunningham.

AN APPROPRIATELY DRAMATIC event, this year’s Alley Ball transformed the Post Oak Hotel into an old-Hollywood-themed tribute to Alfred Hitchcock. Bold red curtains framed large screens playing black and white clips of classic Hitchcock films, and the centerpieces made of dark red roses had crows hidden in them! This was the backdrop for a spellbinding night that raised $1.22 mil for the theater.

NATURE LOVERS AND park supporters gathered at the Clay Family Eastern Glades in Memorial Park to toast the landmark’s centennial. Memorial Park Conservancy and the Houston Parks and Recreation Department put together a beautiful program that celebrated not only its 100-year history, but its very recent (and ongoing!) transformation that has improved the quality of life for many Houstonians.
