McALLEN — Smiles were everywhere during a fundraiser here that aimed to help Comfort House on Sunday, June 4, after the organization faced a fire that led them to asking the community for aid.

“Drag Me To Brunch” was held at the Radisson Hotel McAllen late Sunday afternoon. The fundraiser featured drag artists Miss Gay Harlingen International 2022-23 Sasha Lee, Saruh Tea, Kathryn York and guest emcee Edra Valencia.

The fundraiser was a sold-out show.
