A Mother’s testimonial

The organization Capable Kids has made such a meaningful difference in my daughter Alexzia’s life. Since being part of their program, she has truly blossomed—becoming more kind, loving, and open to expressing affection, even welcoming hugs with comfort and joy. She has also grown more confident in front of the camera, something that once felt overwhelming for her. Most importantly, Capable Kids has greatly supported her socialization skills, helping her interact more openly with others and feel more at ease in different environments. I have seen such a beautiful improvement in her development, and I am so grateful for the positive impact they have had on her journey with autism.

**What if one dinner could create opportunities for thousands of children? ❤️🍽️**

Imagine a child scoring their first goal.

Landing their first job.

Making their first friend.

Finding their confidence.

For children with disabilities across the **Rio Grande Valley**, those moments become possible because of the support of our community.

At **Capable Kids**, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, participate, and thrive. Last year alone, we proudly served **5,934 children with disabilities** through programs designed to create opportunities and strengthen families right here in the RGV.

Every dollar raised from the **Capable Kids Tastes of Texas Gala** stays local and supports children with disabilities in our community through programs including:

🏅 Adaptive Sports
🎉 Social & Recreational Programs
💼 Employment Readiness & Life Skills Training
🧩 V/R Coach-Led Therapy for Children with Autism
❤️ CPR & Safety Classes
🤝 Family Support, Resource Navigation, and so much more

Now, we invite South Texas businesses and community leaders to join us as sponsors for the **Capable Kids Tastes of Texas Gala** on **August 27, 2026**.

Enjoy an unforgettable multi-course tasting experience by renowned Chef **Larry Delgado** while making a meaningful investment in the children and families who call the Rio Grande Valley home.
