The Houston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Houston SPCA) celebrates celebrity-style with the much-anticipated 2008 Pawparazzi Ball. The event will take place on Saturday, November 1, 2008, and benefits various projects and programs of the Houston SPCA. Ginger Kyle and Traci Lee are serving as this year's chairs. The photo-filled affair will honor several Houston 'Petitarians' (in lieu of Humanitarians) including Jenna Creel, Debra and Mark Grierson, Elizabeth and Gary Petersen, Trish and Ty Whitcomb, and Karen and Rudy Wildenstein. This year the Houston SPCA is pleased to present the Angels Among Us Award to Evelyn H. Griffin. Bob Devlin and Neiman Marcus will be honored as this year's Corporate Honorees. The event will also feature dancing, entertainment, and a silent auction. Auction items include trips, events, and parties that are exclusively offered at the Houston SPCA Ball. Sit, Stay and Be Seen! Because you never know which celebrities might make an appearance.
