Gavin DeGraw Headlines 42nd Annual CHRISTUS Gala

 

Prepare to be captivated as Gavin DeGraw takes center stage at the 42nd Annual CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Foundation Gala, promising an unforgettable evening of music and philanthropy. The event will take place at the Beaumont Civic Center on Saturday, April 5, 2025.

The CHRISTUS Gala is a renowned black-tie affair that combines sophistication with purpose, offering attendees an evening to remember. The night begins with cocktails and conversation, followed by a gourmet meal, and culminates in an intimate performance by GRAMMY® Award-nominated artist Gavin DeGraw. Proceeds from this year’s Gala will go towards acquiring life-saving equipment for CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Health System.

For nearly two decades, Gavin DeGraw has enchanted fans worldwide with his soulful voice and chart-topping hits. From his platinum-certified debut album, Chariot, featuring classics like “I Don’t Want To Be” and “Chariot,” to his double-platinum single “Not Over You” from Sweeter, Gavin has established himself as a standout talent in the music industry.

This year’s performance will showcase songs from his heartfelt and critically acclaimed album, Face The River. Inspired by his late parents’ love story and life lessons, the record captures an intimate, soulful journey through love, loss, and hope. Fans will also be treated to favorites from his recently rereleased album, Chariot 20.

Past Gala performances have included iconic artists such as the Goo Goo Dolls, James Taylor, and Wynonna Judd. This year, Gavin DeGraw continues the tradition of delivering top-tier entertainment while supporting the healing ministry of Jesus Christ.
