Once Upon Time-Heart of Texas Goodwill Annual Gala 

This gala is our largest annual fundraiser to help serve communities in central Texas. We expect 300 people in attendance to help raise funds for our various programs. The goal of this year’s event is to raise $100,000 or more. One of the avenues to raise funds is a silent auction. We are seeking donations of value of $50 or more to maximize our efforts. Your donation could help us achieve this goal. Alls Funds go to our programs.
