In the Bag for Heroes for Children What: Heroes and Handbags 10th Anniversary Celebration. Where: Omni Houston Galleria Hotel. Who: Chair Lori Lemon- Geshay; honorary chair Mia Gradney; Heroes for Children co-founders Jenny Dowen and Larissa Linton; designer Elaine Turner; supporters Heather McLeskey, DeeAnn Thigpen, Laura Cernock, Nicole Brende, and Donae Chramosta. PC Moment: Haute handbags from designers Chanel, Gucci, Trina Turk, Valentino and more caused such a bidding frenzy among 350 lunching ladies that cell servers were overloaded, so organizers encouraged bidding breaks (wherein determined bidders left the room to get better reception). The event raised $150,000 for Heroes for Children, which provides assistance to families with a child battling cancer.
