BAFTX Roaring 20s Gala
Friday November 13th 2026
Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston, 1600 W Loop S, Houston
An Unforgettable Evening. A Legacy of Impact.
Join us as the British American Foundation of Texas celebrates a monumental milestone — 20 years of transforming lives through education. The 2026 Gala is more than our annual event. It is a historic celebration of two decades of impact and a bold investment in the next generation of Texas leaders.
The Evening
On Friday, November 13th at The Post Oak Hotel, Houston's most engaged philanthropists, business leaders, and community advocates will come together for a night of elegance and inspiration. Expect an exceptional evening — think Roaring 20s glamour, powerful testimonials from BAFTX scholars, and the energy of a community united around a cause that matters.
This milestone year carries special meaning. 2026 also marks ten years since the passing of Susan Howard, our beloved President, who dedicated herself to building BAFTX into the organization it is today. Susan believed, with unwavering conviction, that talent should never be limited by financial circumstance — and her legacy is alive in every scholar we support, every degree earned, and every life changed.
Why Your Support Matters
For 20 years, BAFTX has found exceptional students in financially difficult circumstances and funded their degrees in business, STEM, and other high-impact fields. Not just tuition — real, sustained investment in people with the drive to do something meaningful with it.
When a BAFTX scholar succeeds, that success travels. It reaches their family, their neighborhood, their industry — shifting what those around them believe is possible. That ripple effect is why this foundation has remained worth fighting for across two decades, and why the work is more critical than ever.
