Gala

Oh! The Places You’ll Go! The Parish School, Houston’s preeminent leader in special education, has empowered children who have communication delays and learning differences to thrive through whole-child education, innovative therapy and access to nature for over 40 years. When a child struggles with communication delays and learning differences, early intervention is key. Since 1983, The Parish School has nurtured the whole child, addressing students’ cognitive, social, emotional and physical growth, fostering skills that will serve them throughout life. Parish gives young children intervention when they need it most – before their learning differences become a roadblock to their success helping them to shine big and bright.

Live Auction

This event raises critical funds necessary to sustain our mission of empowering children with communication delays and learning differences. A special-needs education is costly, and tuition at our school only covers approximately 86% of the school’s operating costs. Your generous support helps us transform lives so that more families can receive the help, hope and support they need to ensure that their child unlocks their voice.

With your help, we can make the 2026 gala the best yet! During this fun-filled night out, guests will enjoy an amazing cocktail hour that features a silent auction and raffle, a delicious, seated dinner and entertaining program, live auction and other surprises. Only underwriters are recognized in print materials and have access to premier seating and other benefits, so make sure to submit the attached form by the underwriting deadline — Friday, December 5, 2025.
