A pre-event champagne and bourbon tasting kicked off the evening for the Avondale House Hear Our Voices, Embracing Autism evening. Leslie and Tom Mogil, honorees Amy Pierce and Dr. Peter Hotez, and Anne and Greg Hill were among the 250 guests at River Oaks Country Club who enjoyed a night with beautiful spring weather, organized by event chairs Ashley and Christian Nelly. Generous supporters contributed $185,000 to Avondale House to help people living with moderate to severe autism. Medical honoree Dr. Peter Hotez, dean for the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, and community advocate honoree Amy Pierce were recognized, and then guests enjoyed entertainment from Nashville singer-songwriters Phillip White, Brice Long, and Marla Cannon-Goodman.
