Since 1995, it’s been a tradition for the TMI community to come together for an unforgettable fundraising event and celebration of our mission. The event, known as Stars Over TMI, is an evening of fun and fellowship, and the proceeds raised from the event support the academic programs, athletics, fine arts, Corps of Cadets, campus, technology and so much more at TMI.

This year we are planning our grandest gala--a 130th school anniversary celebration at La Cantera Resort in San Antonio. The event begins with a cocktail hour followed by a seated dinner and program highlighting TMI's mission and widespread reach in its community. The online silent auction and raffle precede the live auction and finish with the Fund-A-Need auction that is announced the night of the event. Games such as Heads or Tails as well as a Mystery Bag (similar to a wine pull) take place during the night as well. The event ends with live music and dancing.

Our auction donors receive widespread recognition and exposure in our event program, which is distributed to the 500+ event attendees. Following the event, our donors are listed in the TMI business directory, distributed to each of the families of our 600 students. The silent auction itself, with nearly 1000 bidders, provides fantastic publicity for our donors as well.
