Houston enjoys its biggest charity season ever: The year of the $1 million gala makes a big difference - 2012-Jul-11 - CultureMap Houston: The Aubergine-themed Ballet Ball was just one in a long line of charity fundraisers that crossed the $1 million mark this past season. Never before has Houston seen such an outpouring of charitable dollars associated with society-driven fundraisers. In the wake of a struggling national economy, the city's philanthropic spirit, rather than shrinking, seems to be growing.
CultureMap counted 21 charitable fundraisers from January through May that raised $1 million or more.
