The setting? Only the finest. The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston — one of the city's most iconic addresses — will host the BAFTX Roaring 20s Gala on November 13th. Expect an evening of Gatsby-era glamour, powerful stories, and a cause that truly matters. www.baftx.org/gala

This gala carries special meaning. 2026 marks ten years since the passing of Susan Howard — our President who believed, without question, that every student deserved a chance. Her legacy lives in every scholar we support. We honor her on November 13th.  www.baftx.org/gala

Twenty years ago, BAFTX made a promise: that talent should never be limited by financial circumstance. Since then, we've funded degrees in business, STEM, and beyond — investing in people with the drive to change their world. On November 13th, we celebrate what that commitment looks like. ✨ www.baftx.org/gala

Meet the reason we do this. Valeria came to BAFTX with ambition and a dream. Today, she is a class of 2023 Texas A&M University graduate and a Mechanical Engineer at Lockheed. Stories like this are why November 13th matters. Come celebrate — and help us write the next chapter. www.baftx.org/gala
