Guests included Casey and Bubba Beyer, Trisha and Paul Bonar, Cathy and Joe Cleary, Yvonne and Tim Conklin, Jackie and Monty Eubank, Tonya and Hank Hamilton, Polly and Bill McKeon, Marlene and Kurt Nondorf, Mike Taylor, Patti and Tom Turner, and Sharon and Randy Walker.
The evening was emceed by David Paul of KHOU-TV, Channel 11 and Miranda Sevcik. The highlight of the evening was a touching speech by current Covenant House Texas resident, Christina, who shared her disheartening challenges and overwhelming victories in her personal journey. Lisa and John Sarvadi and Texas Capital Bank were honored for their unwavering support of Covenant House Texas.
One of the most memorable aspects of the evening was led by Bill King and Mike Holland.

The night concluded with Empire 6’s tunes and a full dance floor.
