Country music superstar Blake Shelton will headline the Houston Children's Charity gala on October 17, which will be held at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The gala will also be attended by longtime supporter Gary Petersen, who has been instrumental in supporting the charity over the years. The event is set to take place at the Western/country entertainment arena in Houston. The charity aims to raise more money for children by surpassing the $9.4 million raised last year under Laura Ward's leadership. The evening will also honor Petersen, a co-founder of EnCap Investments and a significant supporter of the Houston Texans and Houston Astros.
