Texas Chiropractic College Welcomes Back Mark Chestnutt as the Featured Entertainer for the 2009 Fundraising Event

PASADENA, Texas –  Texas Chiropractic College is thrilled to welcome back country music star Mark Chesnutt as the featured entertainment at its 18th Annual Boots & Spurs Gala to be held on Thursday, February 5, 2009, at the Westin Oaks Hotel, which is connected to the Galleria Shopping Center in “uptown” Houston.

Table sponsorships are available for $2,500 or $1,250 (includes premium seating and dinner for 10), and individual tickets are available for $100 each. The event begins at 6 p.m. with a one hour social, followed by a three-course meal at 7 p.m. The program, which includes a live auction, concludes as Mark Chestnutt and his band take the stage to perform.

With Chestnutt as the headliner, the 2008 Boots & Spurs Gala was sold out for the first time in history with a record 470 people in attendance.

Loved by fans all over the world, Mark Chesnutt has been singing his brand of country music almost all of his life. Son of Bob Chesnutt, a singer, record collector and major fan of classic country music, Mark got his start in the honky-tonks of Beaumont, TX. In 1989, he was signed to MCA Nashville. With the release of his first single “Too Cold At Home,” Mark established himself as one of country’s most authentic and talented vocalists.

Proceeds from the Gala help provide scholarships for deserving and disadvantaged students, and to help defray the rising cost of providing a quality Doctor of Chiropractic degree program to tomorrow’s health care leaders.

Tickets are currently available online or by calling Nikki Hurley at the TCC Office of Institutional Advancement at 281-998-6060.
