Mega-watt stars will raise money for Nobelity Project
The list of celebrities lined up to rub shoulders with you for Turk and Christy Pipkin’s ‘One Peace at a Time’ fund-raiser Jan. 27 at the Four Seasons is blinding. The event benefits the Nobelity Project, the Pipkins’ educational nonprofit that works with Nobel laureates and other leaders on global problems. The distinguished guests are so numerous, they must be divided by organizers into three categories.
Texas All Stars: Hollywood transplants Luke and Owen Wilson; Martie Maguire of the Dixie Chicks; Ricardo Chavira of ‘Desperate Housewives’; Joe Sears and Jaston Williams of ‘Greater Tuna’; Mike Judge of ‘King of the Hill’; Harry Anderson of ‘Dave’s World’; Brad Leland and Ed Clements of ‘Friday Night Lights.’
Texas Music Legends: Shawn Colvin, Joe Ely, Kinky Friedman, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Joel Guzman, Sarah Fox, Bob Schneider, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Terri Hendrix, Lloyd Maines, Sara Hickman and Pinetop Perkins.
Legendary Texas Writers: Lawrence Wright, Pulitzer prize winner for ‘The Looming Tower’; Steve Harrigan, ‘Gates of the Alamo’; Tim McCanlies, ‘Secondhand Lions’; Bud Shrake, ‘The Little Red Book’ and Sarah Bird, ‘The Flamenco Academy.’
Some celeb tables are still available at $10,000 (with the donor choosing whose table), and individual seats remain at $1,000 and $500 (giving you the best choice of celeb-sitting they can). To reserve your place among the stars: e-mail the Nobelity Project or call at (512) 263-7971.
