Gala Sponsorships, Tickets, and Underwriting Opportunities are Available

October 28, 2025 – Sulphur Springs, TX – The 2026 Gala, sponsored by the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation, is only three months away.  Have you secured your tickets?

This is the funnest fundraiser in Hopkins County.  Over the past nineteen years it has affectionately been called the adult prom!  What other chance do we get during the year to don our finest formal outfits, feast on a wonderful meal, and dance until midnight?  Whether we are there for business connections, supporting healthcare, or enjoying a night with our sweeties, the goal remains the same…improving local healthcare opportunities.

Sponsorships, all of which include tickets to the event, are available from $1,000 to $40,000.  Underwriting opportunities start at just $1,750.  And, tickets are $250 per person which includes a reception, dinner, and live music.  All of these opportunities to participate will help the Foundation raise the funds it needs to help CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs purchase new medical equipment to outfit the surgical wing currently under renovation and expansion.

Why should you support this endeavor?  Because none of us know when we will have a medical emergency or need medical care.  In many situations, the faster a person can get to the hospital or have EMS on site, the chances of a positive outcome are greatly increased.  

With the 2026 Gala marking the twentieth such offering, we deserve to celebrate!  Over the past nineteen years, thirty-five projects have been funded through proceeds raised by the Gala alone.  Those projects totaled over $3.3 million which was invested in medical equipment, programs, and construction projects so that you can have great local healthcare right here in Hopkins County.

Though the Foundation has raised over $9 million in its twenty-eight years, the Gala proceeds account for a good portion of those funds.  In addition, the Gala raises awareness in our community as to the needs of local healthcare and more information about the access each citizen has to providers and caregivers.

The Foundation realizes not everyone understands how a party with a purpose can save lives.  But it does…every single day.  

Be it the MRI machine, Lucas CPR devices, critical care beds, 4D sonogram equipment, 3D mammography system, CT Scanner, inpatient therapy equipment, portable X-ray machine, or an entire new surgical wing, these projects are here to care for you and your family because of the Gala.  And this is only a small portion of what the Gala has brought to this community.

Join the Foundation as it gathers for “A Celebration of Twenty Years,” because our health depends on it.

The Foundation is an IRS 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization led by a board of fifteen Hopkins County residents.
