Serving as Title Sponsor for last month's Fashion in the Fast Lane luncheon, Porsche River Oaks helped Houston fashion truly hit the fast lane. A sellout crowd of more than 400 were on hand for the stylish shopping and luncheon affair supporting SAWA (The Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary) Houston. Learn more about what made this day so memorable for our Houston Porsche Center and everyone in attendance.
Porsche River Oaks Proud Title Sponsor of Last Month's Fashion in the Fast Lane Luncheon
Fashion in the Fast Lane took place on April 8th at the River Oaks Country Club. The special event – hosted by The Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary of Houston – celebrated fashion, community, and giving back. Porsche River Oaks was honored to serve as the event's Title Sponsor. Houston fashion hit the fast lane with our donation of Porsche Model Cars. Between memorable fashion moments and a VIP Porsche Driving Experience auction, we were able to help raise $1.1 million for families in need.
Fast Cars, Fashion & Philanthropy
Fashion in the Fast Lane was more than a celebration of style and speed. Between the generosity of attendees and the high-octane partnership between Porsche River Oaks and the Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary Reflections on Style, the celebration became a powerful force for good in the Houston community.
Inspired by Chair Ann Ayre's Passions
This year's Fashion in the Fast Lane theme was inspired by a proud Porsche Boxster S convertible owner and member of the Porsche Club of America. Luncheon chair Ann Ayre shared her two passions: fast cars and fashion. This event demonstrated how timeless fashion and iconic automotive design align in perfect harmony.
A Moving Moment Between Honorees
In one of the afternoon's most moving moments, honoree Hannah McNair – Vice President of the Texans Foundation – took the stage and turned to her mother-in-law and 2014 honoree Janice McNair. Hannah expressed how Janice instilled in her the true joy of philanthropy.
More on the Miniature Edition & VIP Porsche Driving Experience
The Miniature Edition of collectible auction items were a hit and served as the centerpieces of the tables during the luncheon. The VIP Porsche Driving Experience in Atlanta is a luxury getaway featuring hotel accommodations, fine dining, and a customizable, instructor-led performance drive at the world-class Porsche Experience Center.
Collectively, the Chic Boutique showroom and the live auction raised $1.1 million throughout the afternoon to benefit The Salvation Army's programs designed to support families and individuals in need.
