Wednesday, June 14 from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. | Hilton Houston North

TNOYS’ anniversary Gala takes place at Houston Hilton North, the same venue as TNOYS’ Annual Conference. We invite you to join us to celebrate the changemakers who have made our work possible since 1980.

We have a memorable evening planned with great food, storytelling, and over $45,000 worth of raffle and silent auction prizes. We hope you’ll join us to support TNOYS’ work for Texas youth and young adults facing homelessness, foster care, and other at-risk situations. All funds raised will directly support youth and young adults through PEAKS Camp, TNOYS’ YALC, and our advocacy work.
