Boots, beer and benefactors

Allison Flikerski, Gigi Harbison and Lauren Maloy

More than 150 Houstonians, including Allison Flikerski, Gigi Harbison and Lauren Maloy (pictured, from left), dusted off their cowboy boots for the annual Gentlemen’s Committee fundraiser at Goode’s Armadillo Palace. Attendees raised more than $38,000 that will be donated to help research and programs for prostate cancer through the American Cancer Society. The Gentlemen’s Committee is an all-male committee within VICTORY, the all-female organization that produces the Holiday Shopping Card and Cattle Baron’s Ball. The Buck Yeager Band kept everyone dancing all night long, while raffle and auction items went like hot cakes. Robert Mock and Charla Carroll were the night’s big winners of the Ibex Spain trip in the live auction. Other winners included Laura Stein, Daniel DuBose, Taylor Courtney, Katherine Matthews and Dana Wetterer. Gentlemen's party chairs were Ashley Wright, Price Dubose and Cody Tinney.  Chairs of the Cattle Baron’s Ball are Allison Filkerski and Lauren Maloy. VICTORY president is Gigi Harbison.
