For 19 years, Friendly Li'l Spenders has been supporting the ag students/projects from all of the Katy ISD schools at the KLSR auction. Through that time, we've supported the students and their animal projects by giving back over $350,000 to the students of Katy ISD. Our board members are all volunteers, which means 100% of all proceeds goes directly back to the students & their projects! We are a registed 501(c)3, EIN 76-0514197 as Friends of Katy ISD FFA Inc, dba Friendly Li'l Spenders.

Our event is a family friendly event that will include a dinner, open cash bar, music, raffles, silent auction, and live auction with Katy's own Glenn Beckendorff. At our inaugural event we raised over $35,000 and helped 144 students from all of the Katy ISD high schools (over 1/3rd of the total number of students that participated)! Expected attendance at this event is 250 (max capacity).

The collaborative group that make up the Friendly Li'l Spenders is deeply routed in the greater Katy community. Our network of contacts attracts many attendees from within Katy, including extended families, homeowners, and community and business leaders. There are approximately 340,000 residents in the greater Katy area (approx. 24,000 of those are in the Old Katy area specific).
