Touchstone Fine Properties a Major Sponsor for Pancakes and Pajamas. On Feb. 7, anyone driving in the vicinity of The Honor Roll School was met by a blur of balloons, sleepwear and the aroma of pancakes topped with anything from whipped cream to jelly beans. The second annual Pancakes and Pajamas, which raises money for the Fort Bend Women ’s shelter’s Rainbow Room for local children, had a few new additions such as spray-on hair color and even a mechanical bull.

Touchstone Fine Properties was there as well, volunteering at and maintaining the face-painting table led by Julia Mickum. Few families lacked a child with a dolphin, heart, spider, or even SpongeBob on their cheek or hand. Touchstone Fine Properties also acted as a major sponsor in the event for the second consecutive year.
