On Saturday, April 5, 2025, the CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Foundation hosted its 42nd Annual Gala at the Beaumont Civic Center. This beloved tradition continues to be one of the most anticipated fundraising events in our region, and this year’s celebration was nothing short of extraordinary.
We were honored to welcome Gavin DeGraw, whose unforgettable performance lit up the night! A special moment in the evening was introducing our 2025 Children’s Miracle Network Champion, Tynlee Ivey—a powerful reminder of why we gather each year. With your support, we’re able to provide life-saving pediatric care close to home and ensure that children like Tynlee have the chance to heal, grow, and thrive.
This year also brought exciting developments for our region, including the near-completion of the Mamie McFaddin Ward Women’s Center at CHRISTUS St. Elizabeth and the opening of CHRISTUS Health West Beaumont, a full-service campus offering emergency care, surgical services, and more—both made possible by generous donors like you.
We were proud to spotlight the CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Nursing Honor Guard during the Gala—a moving tribute to the dedication, compassion, and service of our nurses. In addition, we launched a call to action to support the new trauma room in our upcoming Simulation Lab—a vital training resource for the future of healthcare in our region.

Save the date for next year’s Gala—April 11, 2026—as we continue to celebrate progress, hope, and the power of community.
With deep appreciation,
