The event is being held on December 3, 2009 from 7 p.m. till 11 p.m. at Winter Street Studios, 2101 Winter Street, in Houston. The event features an exclusive fashion show, great food, dancing and a popular silent auction featuring great finds from Houston’s finest retailers, restaurants, boutiques and more. The spectacular fashion show, produced by Élan Raichle Rogers of FashionHouston.com, features the work of internationally acclaimed designer Billy Reid, Project Runway winner Chloe Dao and famed Houston designer Tonshea Yvonne. Strutting their stuff down the runway and showcasing key pieces from the collections will be internationally acclaimed models from Neal Hamil Models. “The SNAPshots Celebration is a great way to celebrate SNAP’s successes while also raising much-needed funds to expand programs,” said Brett Chisholm, SNAP Honorary Board Member and owner of Brett Chisholm Photography. “In times of financial struggle, SNAP offers opportunities for Houstonians to make an impact, regardless of the amount donated. Each dollar helps us reduce overpopulation and improve the overall welfare of all of Houston’s animals, while at the same time proving financial relief to animal owners throughout the city.” “The mission of SNAP is to prevent the suffering and death of cats and dogs due to overpopulation, especially in low-income areas,” Chisholm added. “Because of overpopulation in Texas, more than half a million animals are euthanized annually at a cost of over $20 million dollars. These figures do not include animals that are abandoned and die from starvation, disease, or trauma. Failure to sterilize animal companions is a major cause of animal overpopulation. Providing these resources to the community is a key to breaking the cycle of overpopulation.” The SNAPshots Celebration and Fashion Show would not be possible without the generous support of the following individuals and organizations: Haute Couture Sponsors CapitalOne Bank, Tito’s Handmade Vodka and Pride International. Paparazzi Sponsors include Bud Light/Silver Eagle Distributers, Southwest Airlines, Catering By George, Neal Hamil Models and Winter Street Studios. Additional sponsors include Brett Chisholm Photography, Flotek, FashionHouston.com, Houston Dog Blog, Natural Balance Pet Foods, Kermit Eisenhut, DogTeesEtc.com, Bed and Biscuit Pet Spa, Storey Studios, Riazul Tequila, Office Effects and Houston PetTalk Magazine. Special thanks go out to LOT8, The Creative Branch and Sunny 99.1 KODA-FM. Please join SNAP and friends in becoming a part of the solution to the animal overpopulation crisis in Houston by attending this festive, worthwhile party!
