The Key Gala

Unlocking Possibilities

One Night. One Iconic Stage. Endless Possibilities.

 

Launching on June 3, 2026, the Key Gala makes its debut as the reimagined evolution of our signature national fundraiser.

Guided by this year’s theme, Unlocking Possibilities, the Key Gala celebrates a bold new chapter – introducing a new name, a refreshed experience, and an expanded vision built on years of meaningful impact.

For the first time ever, this annual event is traveling beyond the Rio Grande Valley, with Austin, Texas serving as the launch city.

The Key Gala will bring together supporters, partners, and community champions for an evening centered around generosity, impact, and opening doors to brighter futures.
