MORE THAN 350 supporters of local research and advocacy group Children at Risk laughed out loud in the name of charity! The group's 35th annual Stand Up for Children gala featured an uplifting act courtesy of Dana Carvey, and raised a whopping $350K.
The Hilton Americas ballroom was the site of the beautiful night, which began with galagoers perusing the silent auction and contemplated how many raffle tickets to buy — the Valobra heart earrings were stunning! The main program, emceed by Khambrel Marshall, included a toast to Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital and community members Stacey and Al Lindseth.
A live auction followed, with paddles flying up to bid on the Colorado mountain vacation. And when Carvey took the stage, the enthralled crowd thoroughly enjoyed his masterful impressions.
