The theme for the 10th Annual Humble ISD Education Foundation Gala is “Take me out to the ball game and hit a home run for education” and guests are encouraged to dress in baseball attire. The Gala will include a fabulous buffet provided by Triggs Catering and great music by the very popular band Doppelganger. A silent and live auction will once again add to the evening’s excitement with all proceeds benefiting the Foundation’s Innovative Education Grant program. Once again the live auction will have a BBQ pit designed and built by HISD Welding Teacher Dennis Hunt and his students. The pit will be on a mobile trailer and is valued at $3000. The perfect pit for your next tailgate party!

Sponsorships are available beginning with the Diamond Club for $10,000, Club Sponsor for $5000, Mezzanine Sponsor for $2,500 and the Bleachers Sponsor for $1,500. Each sponsorship will include tickets to the event (Diamond Club Sponsor receives 2 tables), premier seating, special gift and recognition that evening. Individual tickets are also available for $100.00 per person.

Karen Perkins, Community Development Director for Humble ISD, says "The Gala is one of the Education Foundation's largest fundraising events and last year raised over $150,000 for grants. Monies raised that evening provide grants for exciting learning activities, field trips and equipment for several Humble ISD schools. The generosity of this community is what makes our schools great!” Teachers have the opportunity to apply for a grant to fund projects that are not covered under the regular school budget.

Last year one grant was awarded to Meshelle Smith, at Woodland Hills Elementary. She explains: "I received a grant for our Camp Apollo project. Students were divided into 12 member flight crews and rotated through academic 'missions'. The reading, math, social studies, writing, art, computer, and science lab teachers collaborated in teaching "outer space" using their subject areas! The kids learned so much. On Wednesday night, thirty-five of us visited the Observatory and were able to see Mars and Jupiter!! One student was especially in awe of the Observatory. He told me, "This would be my dream job!!" We culminated the week with a field trip to Houston Space Center. While looking at the photos of the astronauts one of our girls said, "I could see my picture here!" Students loved this week of learning experiences beyond the classroom. They will remember this for a long time!"

We are almost sold out! To purchase individual tickets, please call (281) 641-8140.
