Host Shane Walker welcomed Dallas animal lovers to his Flower Reign for a festive kickoff to the SPCA of Texas Paws Cause 2015. Four-legged guests were also welcome, and they inspired lots of good times in the photo booth and in the caricature sketches.
Fueled by snacks whipped up by Food Glorious Food and champagne donated by Kristen and Scott Greenberg,altruistic attendees — including Phyllis Comu, Billy Fulmer, Diane Brierley, LeeAnne Locken, Steve Kemble, Christina Miller, Karen Lukin, Holly Forsythe, Katy Murray, Cynthia Smoot and Nicole Hutchison — also shopped for goodies in the store, as Flower Reign agreed to donate 20 percent of party proceeds to the SPCA’s Mary Spencer/Neuter and Wellness Clinic at Village Fair in South Dallas.
