Cowboy boots met designer heels at The Rustic, Uptown Park on October 22nd, where over 500 Houstonians rallied for BEAR’s annual evening event, Stetsons & Stilettos. The event was nothing short of spectacular, smashing records with an impressive $500,000 raised to support at-risk and CPS-involved kids in the greater Houston area.
Chaired by the dynamic duo Mike and Kelli Bridges, emceed by Johnny Bravo and presented by Amspec, the night was a whirlwind of live music, auctions and great food. Attendees rocked rodeo glam, flaunting everything from turquoise bling to chic cowboy boots.
Tammy Hetmaniak, Executive Director at BEAR, reminded us why we were all there – to provide “a beacon of hope” for children in need. The Heart Gallery program got a shoutout for boosting local adoption rates from 1% to a whopping 60%.
From a 50/50 raffle to a live auction featuring Madonna concert tickets and a personal chef dinner, the crowd was all in. Sponsors like LALO Tequila, Sysco, and I W Marks brought their A-game, ensuring the night was one for the books.
As the night wrapped up, it was clear – Stetsons & Stilettos was more than just a party; it was a community coming together to make real change for children in the greater Houston area. See y’all again next year!
