Starlight Gala benefits the American Cancer Society and is a black-tie event geared towards young professionals between the ages of 25 to 45 to introduce them to the world of philanthropy. The Gala started in 1996 by Ashlee Brown whose vision was to show the City of Houston that the young professionals do care about the community and want to make a difference. For the past 12 years, there have been 100+ volunteers on an annual basis and we have raised more than $1.2 million for research, education, advocacy and service.
Starlight Gala's highlights include festive entertainment, elegant decorations and fine dining. Guests have the opportunity to further support the mission through gaming, silent auctions and raffles. Starlight Gala sets the bar for other ACS galas!
One of the activities that makes Starlight Gala unique is the dedication of the evening to a Shining Star in the fight against cancer. Participants do more than attend the gala, they "Celebrate the Victory, Encourage the Fight, and Honor the Memory" of cancer patients everywhere.
