Join us for an unforgettable evening at The Elevation Gala, hosted by Front Steps, on November 10, 2024, from 6 PM to 11 PM at the elegant Austin Club in downtown Austin. This year’s gala embraces the vibrant spirit of New Orleans Mardi Gras, promising a night filled with color, excitement, philanthropy, and celebration.
As you step into the historic Austin Club, you’ll be transported to the heart of New Orleans. The venue will feature traditional Mardi Gras decorations in rich purples, greens, and golds, capturing the essence of this iconic festival.
The night’s incredible music will keep the energy high and exciting. A second-line band will keep you entertained, ensuring there’s never a dull moment. While you enjoy the company of friends and fellow supporters, the entertainment and exquisite cuisine will be highlights of the evening, with more in store!
The funds raised from this event will support our programs and help the develop of a new transitional housing community, providing safe and stable housing options. According to the 2023 Pit Count conducted in Texas, approximately 4,103 veterans experienced homelessness across Texas Continuums of Care (CoCs) from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, as reported by the Texas Homeless Network. In response to this pressing need, this transitional housing community will provide essential supportive services, including case management, to help veterans achieve the stability needed for a brighter future.
Front Steps has always been a dedicated ally in supporting our unhoused neighbors, especially US veterans who may face unique challenges. We understand the importance of honoring their service and are committed to helping them overcome obstacles and find stability. In 2023 alone, Front Steps assisted 203 veterans in transitioning into stable housing solutions. The Elevation Gala is more than just an event; it’s a celebration of community and a testament to the incredible impact we can achieve together.
