Foundation’s Special Gala Auction Pre-Sale Starts Monday

January 29, 2026 – Sulphur Springs, Texas – The Hopkins County Health Care Foundation is holding a special Gala Auction Pre-Sale following the postponement of its 20th Anniversary Gala for the safety of the public during winter storms. 

The online auction will feature a selection of unique and popular items originally planned for the anniversary Gala that are just too good to wait for! Bidding will open on February 2 at 8:00 a.m. and close on February 8 at 9:00 p.m. All available items may be previewed exclusively online at Gala2026.GiveSmart.com.

The online auction will function similarly to other online auctions, such as eBay, including the capability to set a maximum bid and enable outbid notifications. 

Supporters are encouraged to participate, place bids early, and help make this milestone year a success despite the change in plans. Additional auction items will be available at the in-person celebration, newly rescheduled for May 9. 

Proceeds from the auction will contribute to the overall Gala goal of donating $250,000 to outfit the newly expanded surgical suite in CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs. 

The Foundation is more grateful than ever for the strong support of the community through the setback of the postponement.
