The Pavilion Partners Hosts the Hottest Party of the Year Sept. 17  
 
The Pavilion Board of Directors and The Pavilion Partners, the official volunteer organization of The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, host their annual Pre-Concert Dinner & Fund-Raiser Sept. 17 prior to the KISS concert. Social hour, including a cash bar and appetizers courtesy of Tommy Bahama, begins at 5:30 p.m. in The Pavilion's rockin' new House of Blues Hospitality Tent.
 
Guests can check out the silent auction before taking their seats at 6:30 p.m. for dinner, catered by Outback Steakhouse, and the live auction. The concert begins at 8 p.m.
 
KISSTickets for the evening are $200 per person and include special reserved seating for the concert, dinner and VIP Club passes. The silent and live auctions offer a variety of great items, such as sports and concert memorabilia, sports, theatre and travel packages and more. Emmy Award-winning reporter and anchor for KTRK 13 Eyewitness News, Art Rascon, returns as the honorary auctioneer for the event.
 
All proceeds from the fund-raiser benefit the educational outreach programs of The Pavilion. More information about these programs can be found here.
 
After enjoying cocktails, delicious food and an exciting auction, guests can join the KISS army and rock out to one of the most influential rock and roll bands of all-time. KISS holds honors as one of America's top gold record champions, recording 37 albums over 36 years and selling more than 100 million albums worldwide.
