Martina McBride Headines the 43rd Annual CHRISTUS Gala

Prepare for an unforgettable evening as Martina McBride takes center stage at the 43rd Annual CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Foundation Gala, an elegant night celebrating music, generosity, and community impact. The event will take place on Saturday, April 11, 2026, at the Beaumont Civic Center.

The CHRISTUS Gala is a renowned black-tie affair that blends sophistication with purpose. Guests will enjoy an evening beginning with a cocktail hour, followed by a gourmet plated dinner, and culminating in an intimate live performance by one of country music’s most powerful and beloved voices.

A GRAMMY®-nominated artist and member of the Grand Ole Opry, Martina McBride is celebrated for her extraordinary vocal range and emotionally resonant songs. With a career spanning more than three decades, she has earned multiple CMA and ACM awards and is best known for iconic hits such as Independence Day,” “Wild Angels,” and Blessed.” Her music has long been praised for its storytelling, strength, and heart—qualities that perfectly align with the mission of CHRISTUS.

Proceeds from this year’s Gala will support critical needs across CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Health System, helping provide life-saving equipment, enhanced patient care programs, and vital services for patients and families throughout our region. During the evening, guests will also learn more about the impact of their generosity and the healing ministry they help advance.

Past CHRISTUS Galas have featured nationally recognized artists and unforgettable performances, and this year continues that tradition with a night that promises to be both meaningful and memorable.

For those interested in attending and supporting the CHRISTUS mission, table are now available.
