The Honorable Lynden Rose and Marilyn Rose, Deborah Duncan, Brigitte Kalai, Alicia Smith, Senator Joan Huffman, Mayor John Whitmire, and Jan Duncan attended PetSet’s inaugural Le Brunch fundraiser at Le Tesserae. The event raised nearly $1 million for Houston’s homeless animals, focusing on grants for local shelters and rescue organizations. In the past, PetSet’s largest annual fundraiser was a traditional evening event, but the new brunch format was a huge hit. Le Brunch was co-chaired by Kirby Matocha Edmunds and co-presidents Tama Lundquist and Tena Lundquist Faust; Great Day Houston’s Deborah Duncan served as emcee. Supporters enjoyed headliner special guests Billy Bob Thornton and The Boxmasters.
