Bash

Remembering the 2019 Holiday Masquerade Bash /  by Lori Bigler

We had a fantastic turnout for this year’s Lights in the Heights Holiday Masquerade Bash on Friday, October 25. From ticket sales, auction items, and sponsorships, the Bash brought in over $43,000! About $13,000 alone were from the silent and live auction. What a wonderful turnout and a wonderful fundraising event!

It was a beautiful, cool evening at 1111 Studewood where we enjoyed the amazing Houston cityscape from the rooftop balcony. Friends and neighbors enjoyed food and drinks graciously donated by our favorite neighborhood establishments. Helen in the Heights and BCK donated food. Sonoma Wine Bar, Eureka Heights Brewery, and Christian’s Tailgate donated wine, beer, and bottled water. This event would not have been possible without these tremendous donors.

Several individuals and local businesses donated silent auction items, and the evening concluded with a live auction hosted by Johnny Holloway.

Special thank you to the Bash Co-chairs: Karen Stowers, Ashley Allison, Lynette Crocker, Shoshana Jackofsky, and Lauren Snead. Their hard work and organization of the event and the auction made this a successful event. An additional thank you to Ward & Susan Pennebaker, Beth Allen-Brock, Melissa McKee, Greg Stowers, Michael Graves & Estella Espinosa for your expertise and assistance in making this event possible.

Lastly, thank you to all of our neighbors and friends who came out to support Lights in the Heights!
