Since its inception in 1986, Be An Angel's mission has been to improve the quality of life for children with multiple disabilities or profound deafness. Earlier this spring, the organization raised a record-breaking $350,000 towards the cause during the 2016 awards ceremony and gala honoring Dot Cunningham, Roger & Debbie Clemens, Charlie Bolden, and Dr. Joan Shook.

Chair Carmina Zamorano enlisted the help of dinner chairmen Lt. Governor Dan Patrick and his wife, Jan Patrick, to host 350 supporters at Hotel ZaZa. Guests gussied up Texas-style for the "Boots & Bling"-themed soiree. Gold-painted "living statues" welcomed the crowd into the ballroom where "Great Day Houston" host Deborah Duncan put on quite a show as mistress of ceremonies.

Funds raised provide adaptive equipment and selective services for deserving children.
