The Montrose Country Club sparkled with rhinestones and country charm for “Rhinestone Cowboy,” a lively fundraiser benefiting Montrose Grace Place. Hosted by the Houston Misfits and Out at the Rodeo, the event brought together the community for a night of dancing, dazzling outfits, and heartfelt giving. DJ Easton Wayne Santos kept the energy high, spinning country hits and dancefloor favorites as guests two-stepped the night away. Glittering cowboy hats, bold Western fashion, and a shared spirit of generosity made the evening one to remember, celebrating both Texas flair and the power of community support.
Grace Place is a safe, welcoming environment for vulnerable homeless youth of all sexualities and gender identities, providing nourishment, healthy relationships, and hope for the future.
