Monday’s University of Texas philanthropy event was fabulous. Thank you to everyone who came and helped First Book give new books to children in need. When I grew up, I always had access to books and I want all children to have this advantage. Books bring them joy, help them see the possibilities before them, and inspire them to reach their potential.

As you can see from the following pictures, everyone at this event had a wonderful time. With this beautiful waterfront, open-air venue and Lip Service, the cutting-edge party band, the evening could not be any less than great.
