Waves of Change background

Sunday, November 2 | 4–7pm | Lake Austin Spa & Resort

An Evening of Impact by the Lakeside against the tranquil backdrop of Lake Austin Spa Resort, this year’s Giving Gala invites our most dedicated supporters to an unforgettable lakeside evening filled with live music, culinary discovery, and heartfelt connection. Guests will savor signature tastings from Michelin-Star Chef Philip Frankland Lee’s acclaimed restaurants, creating a one-of-a-kind dining journey that delights the senses and celebrates community.

Every dollar raised that night will be TRIPLED, multiplying your impact and bringing us closer to our $500,000 goal. Together, we’ll continue to uplift the Batwa people of Uganda—expanding access to clean water, education, medical care, and empowering women and girls through Fight For Her.

Join us for a night where generosity meets joy—a celebration of gratitude, purpose, and global change.
