The eighth annual luncheon benefiting Nativity Academy of Houston raised $388,000 for the school’s operations. More than 400 supporters gathered at River Oaks Country Club to enjoy the Together We Rise, Together We Shine event with honorary chairs Wendy and Danny Daboval. The crowd was entertained by second graders who sang Start a Fire and heard from guest speaker Richard De La Cuadra about his experience attending the Nativity Mission School in New York City. The board of directors presented the inaugural Jim Shallock Award to Jim Shallock, in recognition of his service to the board of the nontuition-based Christian school for underserved children.
