The CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Foundation held its 41st Annual Gala on Saturday, April 20, at the Beaumont Civic Center. This event has become one of the most anticipated fundraising events each year and has drawn some of the biggest names in entertainment. This year, we were honored to add the legendary Goo Goo Dolls to our long list of amazing entertainers.
This year, the Foundation had the privilege of honoring local businesswoman and philanthropist Gisela Houseman. Her impact extends far beyond the business realm. Gisela Houseman and the Houseman Foundation played a pivotal role in bringing the recently-opened CHRISTUS Hospital – Orange facility to life by generously donating the land on which it was built. Named in her honor, the 20-acre Gisela Houseman Medical Campus is a beacon of health care in the Orange community, offering a wide range of services, including 24/7 emergency care, extended stay units, diagnostic imaging, and a dedicated women’s center. We are deeply grateful for her invaluable contribution.
We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible support we’ve received from our 2024 sponsors. Your generosity has played a pivotal role in making this event a tremendous success and, more importantly, in furthering our mission of extending the healing ministry of Jesus Christ.
This gala wouldn’t have been possible without your support, and we are profoundly grateful for that. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing by us and your enduring support. Here’s to another year of making a meaningful impact, hand in hand.
Save the date! We’re counting the days until the next Gala, April 5, 2025. We can’t wait to see you all again and create more unforgettable memories together.
Warmest regards,
The CHRISTUS Foundation Team
