Derby-finest attire filled the room at The Post Oak Hotel for the Hats, Hearts, and Horseshoes event benefiting Bo’s Place. James and Nicole Lassiter, Luke and Megan Hotze, Laurie Sanders and Chelsea Collmer were among the 400 guests at the Kentucky Derby-themed affair that raised a record-breaking $360,000 for the nonprofit bereavement center for children, adults, and families. The afternoon of champagne, mint juleps, and live and silent auctions was chaired by Fady Armanious and Bill Baldwin, Amanda and Terry Boffone, and Jayne and Garrett Johnston and featured emcees Chita Craft and Stephen Lewis. Advisory Board member Kathy O'Neil presented the Champion of Hope Award to sisters Meredith Chastang and Liz Anders for their years of support of Bo’s Place.
