Mattress Mack to Lead the 2nd Annual Petra Cares Gala

On April 10, 2025, Houston will welcome renowned businessman and philanthropist Jim McIngvale, affectionately known as Mattress Mack, as the keynote speaker for the 2nd Annual Petra Cares Gala. This much-anticipated event will take place at The Revaire, starting at 6:30 PM, and is set to gather community leaders and supporters rallying for a noble cause.

The gala, a fundraising effort organized by the non-profit branch of Petra Automotive Products, aims to empower young adults exiting foster care and homeless at-risk youth. With an esteemed track record of philanthropy, Mattress Mack's participation is expected to enrich the event with his compelling narrative about resilience, the importance of giving back, and making a positive difference in local communities.

Brian Meza, the Executive Director of Petra Cares, expressed enthusiasm for Mack's involvement, stating, "We are overjoyed to have Mattress Mack as our keynote speaker. His devotion to the community resonates deeply with our mission at Petra Cares. We believe his story of generosity and perseverance will inspire us all to work toward building brighter futures for at-risk youth."

The evening is not merely centered around words of wisdom from Mattress Mack; it also includes an exciting schedule of events. Guests will engage in a scintillating reception that features a silent auction, presenting an opportunity to support the cause while bidding on unique items. Following this, attendees will sit down for a formal dinner, during which a live auction will take center stage. Additionally, a thrilling round of the popular game Heads or Tails is set to infuse some light-hearted competition into the evening.
