What: Nan and Company Properties holiday party
Where: MAD Restaurant in River Oaks District
PC Moment: The wildly fabulous decor of MAD from world-renowned interior designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán does nothing less than inspire frivolity. So it was the perfect choice for Nan and Company CEO Nancy Almodovar when planning her annual fête. But more than a mere cocktail indulgence, this was an evening of thanks for the past year’s success and an opportunity to join the Nan Cares Toy Drive benefiting HISD’s Looscan Elementary School.
It was a generous throng of 250 Nan team members and special guests, who brought in more than 650 toys for the Third Ward school.
“We have so much to be grateful for this year,” Nancy Almodovar says. “I am always overwhelmed by how much our team and our friends give back to our charity partners. It’s truly a testament to how committed we are as a company to serving our community.”
While guests supped on MAD’s famous jamon iberico bites, bomba rice paella with lobster and many more, DJ Tanner Morgan spins kept spirits high as did the signature cocktails created specially for this evening. Among them were espresso martini shots labeled “Are you ready – Wake Up and Party,” a mezcal foam cocktail branded as “Nan & Friends – Found Your Happy,”and an evening closer gin and tonic with rosemary smoke named “Dust & Diamond – Found Your Happy.”
As the partygoers made merry, a video played through the various charitable endeavors and company growth that includes office openings in Galveston and Sugar Land and the 2022 opening of a new flagship office in The Heights.
