More Than a Gala
For one remarkable evening, our community comes together with a shared purpose: to restore confidence, inspire hope, and walk alongside individuals whose lives have been touched by cancer.
The 14th Annual Alira Foundation Gala is more than a celebration—it is an investment in a journey of healing.
While our annual Makeover Day remains the heart of our mission, it is only one chapter of the story. Throughout the year, the Alira Foundation continues to support cancer survivors and their families by providing wellness services, educational resources, emotional encouragement, and meaningful moments of care that extend well beyond the day they ring the bell.
On Friday, September 18, 2026, we invite you to join us at the historic Junior League of Houston for an elegant evening dedicated to celebrating resilience and ensuring that no survivor has to navigate life after treatment alone.
Every ticket purchased, every sponsorship secured, and every donation made helps expand the services we can provide throughout the year, allowing us to reach more survivors, support more families, and continue building a community where healing is nurtured long after treatment ends.
Together, we celebrate strength.
Together, we restore confidence.
Together, we continue the journey.

Cocktail Reception: Connect with community leaders, sponsors, survivors, and friends.
Live Entertainment: Celebrate the evening with live music and unforgettable moments.
Inspiring Stories: Hear powerful stories from individuals whose lives have been transformed through Makeover Day.
Recognition: Celebrate the volunteers, sponsors, and community partners who make this mission possible.
Dinner & Celebration: An elegant evening of dining, inspiration, and giving back.
Silent Auction: One of the highlights of the evening will be our curated auction featuring unique gifts generously donated by businesses and individuals who believe in our mission.
If you or your organization would like to contribute an auction item or experience, we would be honored to hear from you. To donate an auction item, please contact us at contact@alirafoundation.org
Whether you attend as a guest, become a sponsor, volunteer your time, or nominate someone for Makeover Day, you become part of restoring confidence. One Smile at a Time.
