Houston PetSet Launches New Soiree Format with Headliner Billy Bob Thornton on Sunday, September 28, 2025

Houston PetSet’s annual soirée will shift to a brunch format, henceforth referred to as Le Brunch. The event will run from 12 PM – 4:30 PM on Sept. 28, 2025. The event will be hosted at Le Tesserae and will feature an exclusive performance by special guests Billy Bob Thornton and The Boxmasters.

Houston PetSet Co-Presidents Tama Lundquist and Tena Lundquist Faust are once again looking forward to an afternoon of community, as they engage on these critical issues as Houston faces an epidemic of animal homelessness. This year’s event aims to shine a much-needed light on the problem—and inspire meaningful action in its wake.

“This organization is not afraid to evolve to meet the moment. We hope our past attendees will return and embrace this refreshed daytime soiree format.”, added Tama Lundquist, co-president of Houston PetSet. “Historically, the fierce and fabulous soirée has been one of the season’s brightest events. With Billy Bob Thornton joining us, we’re confident this year will be no exception. It’s a time to celebrate the progress we’ve made and to reignite our community’s focus on what truly matters: the animals.”

Houston PetSet co-president Tena Lundquist Faust added that for more than two decades, Houston PetSet has remained committed to advocating for those who cannot speak for themselves.

“The soirée awards us an opportunity to connect with so many compassionate souls and spread this critical message. With our community’s crisis growing, action is needed now. We hope this year’s soirée will catalyze the community-wide engagement needed to address this challenge head-on,” said Tena Lundquist Faust.

There will be a highly curated selection of silent auction items, as well as a spectacular lineup of live auction opportunities. Tickets, tables and sponsorship opportunities are available to purchase here.
