Razzle dazzle with Gladys Knight

Memorial Hermann’s annual Razzle Dazzle luncheon raised more than $1 million for breast cancer early detection and outreach programs, including funding 1,000 mammograms for local women. Anne Neeson, Erin Asprec, Kaitlyn Yardley, Charlie Yardley, Charlotte Payne, Roslyn Bazzelle Mitchell, Amalia Stanton, and Alice Mosing were among the supporters who enjoyed an afternoon with the Grammy award-winning “Empress of Soul” Gladys Knight. More than 600 attendees filled the ballroom of the Post Oak Hotel for the event chaired by Caroline and Will Brown and Lisa and Jerry Simon, with Yvonne Cormier, M.D. serving as honorary chair. Luncheon honoree Nina Hendee addressed the crowd and recognized the breast-cancer survivors in the room. The highlight of the day was enjoying Knight’s performance of three favorite hits, “Best Thing That Ever Happened,” “Neither One of Us,” and “Midnight Train to Georgia.”
