Sierra Waggoner was on the red carpet, catching up with all three founders to talk about the impact the organization has made over the past 14 years—and the continued mission behind the event.

The annual gala has become one of Austin’s most anticipated nights, blending entertainment with a powerful purpose. Each year, proceeds from the event benefit five carefully selected charities, all dedicated to improving the lives of children and families in the community.

Beyond the star-studded appearances, the evening serves as a reminder of what can be accomplished when community, creativity, and compassion come together.
