Greg Grissom and his wife, St. Mark’s Gala co-chair Jamie Grissom, and Dave and co-chair Hollie Fulghum (pictured, from left) welcomed guests to their sold-out event at The Houstonian Hotel and Spa. This year’s gala, The Southern Soirée: The Soul of St. Mark’s, was one of the most successful in the school’s history, raising over $197,000. A large collection of student artwork, parent and student socials, unique items, and one-of-a-kind experiences were auctioned through an online bidding center and in a live auction.
