Shubhra Endley, Amanda Schmitt, Margaret and Stephen Yerkovich, Nicole Campbell, Taylor Polky, and Catherine O'Connell were among the 550 guests at The Post Oak Hotel to support Communities in Schools of Houston (CIS). The Soaring to New Heights gala raised more than $603,000 to employ school-based support managers for at-risk students across Greater Houston. Event chairs Caroline and Will Brown and Virginia and Cramer Williams welcomed guests to the evening that started with a cocktail reception and moved into the ballroom decorated with colorful hot-air balloons. Emcee Lisa Malosky introduced special guest Linda Gale White, former First Lady of Texas. Joseph Patty of Chapelwood United Methodist Church offered the blessing and then Malosky announced gala honoree Jan Redford. After the program concluded, guests danced the night away to Houston’s own Klockwork band.
