The Woodlands, TX - Guests partied like a rock star at The Pavilion Partners Pre-Concert Dinner & Fundraiser held Sept. 17 prior to the KISS concert at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion.

The silent auction included unique items and packages created just for this event including a KISS memorabilia package, a Houston Aeros ticket package, a unique guitar-shaped wine rack filled with specialty wines, an overnight Galveston getaway package, a spectacular downtown arts package, great dinner and wine packages, fantastic Woodlands "staycation" packages and more. The silent auction raised $8,400.

"The Pavilion Partners Pre-concert Dinner & Fundraiser is one of the best fundraisers we have all year. The event brings together groups of people from both inside and outside our community and introduces them to the arts programs at The Pavilion," said Christine Scully, development director of The Pavilion. "We had some really unique auction packages to offer our guests, including a meet and greet with the evening's entertainment. Tommy Bahama provided delicious appetizers and Outback Steakhouse a wonderful meal. We could not have done it without our volunteers, sponsors and guests and who came together to raise $25,000 to support educational programs at The Pavilion."
