The 2024 Boots ‘N Barbecue Gala is a celebration of the 21st anniversary of Wylie ISD Education Foundation’s BOLD

mission to enhance education and launch caring, competent, and contributing adults. The gala will be hosted on March

23, 2024 at the Plano Event Center. We would love to include your “ace high” gift in our live or silent auction.

The 2023 Boots ‘N Barbecue raised more than $400,000 with more than 700 attendees—our highest-grossing gala.

Since 2001, approximately 660 grants have been awarded in Wylie ISD schools impacting almost 19,000 students per

year. The Boots ‘N Barbecue Gala has raised more than $3 million in critical mission funds that supplement an already

stellar curriculum for all students in the community.

A large portion of these proceeds are raised through the auction held the night of the gala. Please consider donating a

package to the auction using the attached form.

Items that receive the most attention and excitement from patrons include:

• Unique experiences
• Services
• Items not generally available to the public
• Vacation and hospitality (lodging, dining, excursions)

We hope you will join us in supporting the 2024 Boots ‘N Barbecue gala. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any

questions.

Join us in boldly enhancing education and helping all students succeed in Wylie ISD!
