Opened this year, the Mays Family Center is a beautiful event space along the San Antonio River.

All attendees are invited to attend the gala at no cost by selecting the reception during registration. Dress is smart business casual.

Complimentary light dinner will be served. One drink ticket will be provided. Cash bars for wine, beer, and soda will be available.
