The CHRISTUS Santa Rosa San Marcos Foundation is thrilled to announce its 2026 Stars of Texas Gala presented by HEB will take place on April 10.
Hays County’s premier annual black-tie event will honor local first responders and feature entertainment by The Texas Jamm Band, featuring members of George Strait’s Ace in the Hole Band.
“First responders are critical to the health and safety of our community members,” said John Navarrette, chairman of the CHRISTUS Santa Rosa San Marcos Foundation board of directors.
“We are looking forward to an unforgettable evening honoring firefighters, law enforcement, EMS and 911 personnel and celebrating their courage, commitment and sacrifice.”
