raised $50,000 to benefit YES to YOUTH – a total of $150,000 over three years.
The Woodlands, TX – May 30, 2019 – It was all about the kids in need as the 3rd annual “Shelter for Shelter” event presented by Richmond Realty Group RE/MAX The Woodlands & Spring successfully raised $50,00 to benefit YES to YOUTH’s homeless shelter, bringing the total raised over the last three years to $150,000.
Even the impending thunderstorm couldn’t keep folks from attending Shelter for Shelter, which was hosted May 9th at Mercedes-Benz of The Woodlands for the third year in a row.
Over 300 guests began to arrive at 6:30 p.m. and the fun networking among community leaders and local businesses sponsors quickly became buzzing as upbeat tunes played in the background. The generous fine food samplings and spirits flowed with sponsor restaurants serving their favorite light bites – from scrumptious crab cakes and succulent steak to chocolate truffles and a huge flowing chocolate fondue tower.
On the big stage, an informative presentation covered the important services provided by YES to YOUTH. As the sun went down, the showroom was aglow as Zach Richmond and his team of Marlys Mulkey, Heather Gable, Colleen Stockert, Aleisha Bannenberg at Richmond Realty honored each of the 46 sponsors with a “thank you” medal as they walked across the stage. The vivacious Monette Smith of PR Luxury Media emceed the evening which was punctuated by live entertainment, music and fun dancing.
“Mercedes Benz of The Woodlands has been our partner since the beginning,” noted Richmond. “They really care about giving back to the community. They’ve been such a big partner by providing such an amazing venue for us to raise money for the kids in crisis in Montgomery County. We truly grateful for their support as well as the support we received from all of our generous sponsors and guests.”
