Houston, Texas – September 10, 2022 – The animals were the
true winners of the 18th Annual
Fierce and Fabulous Soirée. Houstonians came out in full
force and opened their hearts
and wallets to make this year’s gala a resounding
success, raising an unprecedented amount $1.1
million for the animals. Houston PetSet partners will be
the lucky recipients of proceeds that will
greatly benefit over 70 + rescue groups and funding for
the Houston PetSet critical
programming.
More than 700 animal lovers packed the Post Oak Hotel
ballroom to see Cole Hauser and Forrie
Smith. Leading the helm of this sold out event were
chairmen Tena Lundquist
Faust, Tama Lundquist and Sue Smith for a fierce and
fabulous charitable evening of cocktails,
dinner, and luxury auction items and a rocking After
Party. Guest danced to DJ Senega and
partied all night long.
Deborah Duncan, Mistress of Ceremonies, provided the
audience with much laughter and banter
from the podium. The philanthropic trio honored
Houston’s sweetheart Sidney Faust for all her
hard work and charitable generosity to the community.
There were plenty of one of a kind
auction experiences such as Wimbledon Experience: John
McEnroe will host guests in his seats
for Women’s and Men’s finals and after party at his
house , Cole Hauser Experience: Experience
and afternoon horse ride in Montana and DeBoulle
generously donated a Rolex timepiece for
the Raffle and I-Touch donated a beautiful ruby and
diamond ring.
