November 20, 2025 – Sulphur Springs, TX – You probably know by now that the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation loves to celebrate! From fun events like the Gala, Man Bingo, and Designer Handbag Bingo to wonderful life-saving free clinics, the Foundation likes to spread joy.
As we get closer to January 24, and the 20th anniversary Gala, we asked Heather Johnson to share what we can expect at the Gala this year. Heather is a member of the Board of Directors with the Foundation and is also serving on the leadership committee that is planning the Gala.
Heather mentioned some of the annual highlights the crowd can anticipate, “We always have a great response to the live band and dancing, the heads and tails game which can take many twists before the winner is declared, and the auctions are a great way to enjoy some healthy competition…and of course the food is always delicious.”
Heather shared what attendees can look forward to during the anniversary celebration. “There will be lots of photos from years past that we will share. We have a few throwback moments sprinkled throughout the night and remind everyone of the outcomes of the past 19 Galas. And, with the help of Jordan Potts of Graceful Health and Wellness, there will be a memento of the evening for attendees to take home with them.”
Heather continues, “We really want to convey to everyone who has ever donated, sponsored, purchased tickets, underwritten a part of the Gala, or bid on auction items how appreciative we are. The committee is working hard to make sure this event adequately expresses the Foundation’s gratitude for each and every person who has kept this event going for twenty years!”
Attendees can expect the fun and excitement of the event to be even more elevated if that is possible. It really is a night to say thank you and to celebrate our community’s accomplishments.
