Steak 48 Hosts The Social Book’s Second Annual Celebration of Chairmen and Honorees

What makes a successful event? One can surely count on a good cause to stir emotions and pocketbooks. Timing and an engaging, fun-filled theme certainly play their respective roles. Nothing beats a winning hand of great chairpersons, honorary chairs and honorees. Their contributions of time, talent, connections, philanthropy and style can send a gala into the stratosphere. Such was the case at Steak 48 in River Oaks Shopping District, as Oliver Badgio, Chief Brand Officer at Prime Steak Concepts, and his team welcomed 100 of Houston’s leaders to their upstairs private room to celebrate Chairpersons, Honorary Chairs and Honorees of The Social Book’s subscribing organizations for events from September 2024 through May 2025.

This elegant reception featured outstanding passed hors d’oeuvres and a full bar and allowed guests to gather and catch up on events for the upcoming social season. Renowned florist Flowers by Nino created beautiful floral centerpieces. Photographs provided by Gittings of each of the entities were displayed on Steak 48’s high-definition flat-screen television. Elsie Smith Design lent her expertise in designing the event’s intricate invitation.

A pause in the festivities allowed for a moment whereby Scott Evans, Publisher of The Social Book, drew winners for four complimentary items, donated from Donae Chramosta and The Vintage Contessa, Vicki Rizzo and More Than You Can Imagine, Heidi Turney and Saks Fifth Avenue and Flowers by Nino. Upon guests’ departure, The Vintage Contessa gifted those attending with their signature “Twilly” scarves, and dessert company Jillian & Co. gifted delicious and beautifully presented shortbread cookies.

The upcoming social season promises to be one to remember, and the unending gratitude for the dollars raised goes to those entities whose names and efforts help increase the non-profit coffers. Thanks should also be showered upon those at the charities whose daily duties include bringing the events to fruition. The Social Book is proud to lead the charge!
