Next steps to the future

Gala chairs Adam and Amy Mincberg and Jennifer and Scott Jacobson (pictured, from left) were among the 550 guests at the Next Steps to the Future gala benefiting Seven Acres Jewish Senior Care Services. Held in the ballroom at the Hilton Americas-Houston and honoring longtime supporter Larry Buck, the evening raised more than $1.3 million for the care of elderly residents of Seven Acres. Guests enjoyed cocktail hour, including a tequila martini bar and a special “Buck-tini” named for the evening’s honoree, an auction and raffle, and entertainment from the David Caceres band. Emcees Linda Lorelle and Khambrel Marshall led the evening, along with the gala chairs, auction chair Bonnie Winograd, and honorary chairs Sue Sue and Don Aron, Barbara and Barry Lewis, and Helen Wils and Leonard Goldstein. Board president Michael Feinstein presented Larry Buck with the Joyce Proler Schechter Spirit of Life Award for his many years of support, including serving as a former president. As a nod to Buck’s love of wearing tennis shoes, guests donned their favorite kicks at the event.
