Jim and Jane Wise, Rose Cullen, Lilly Andress, Maureen Higdon and Major Carolynn Web enjoyed the sold-out 2023 Love Beyond Hoops luncheon benefiting the Salvation Army of Greater Houston at River Oaks Country Club. This year’s event, chaired by Dorothy Nicholson and honoring Joe and Cathy Cleary, raised more than $725,000 for social-services programming. Guests enjoyed hearing from keynote speaker Michael Redd, who serves on The Salvation Army National Advisory Board and is a champion leader for The Salvation Army’s Love Beyond Hoops national campaign. Redd, a former NBA player, shared his personal and professional story including highlights from playing for the Ohio State Buckeyes on their journey to the Final Four in 1999, his 12-year career in the NBA, and playing for the 2008 Olympic Gold Medal Team.
