Eye Ball

EYE BALL 2012, The Place To Be Seen

The Eye Ball 2012 was an outstanding success under the leadership of Houston Eye Associates Foundation Board Member, and Event Chair Janet Balke. Mistress of Ceremonies Melanie Lawson (Anchor, KTRK, Channel 13) welcomed more than 400 guests on Friday, February 10 at the Hilon Post Oak Houston Hotel. The elegant black-tie event honored Rosanette and Harry Cullen for their generous community support.

Guests enjoyed dinner, danced to the musis performed by the Brent Van Sickle Orchestra and bid on eye-catching and unique silent and live auction packages. The event raised more than $300,000 benefitting two vision-focused organizations, Houston Eye Associates Foundation and Prevent Blindness Texas.

Houston Eye Associates Foundation would like to thank all of the guests, in-kind vendors, volunteers, table sponsors and underwriters for their generous support of the Eye Ball in 2013.
