DSEF Gala

Announcing the 2026 Heart of a Tiger Gala
The Dripping Springs Education Foundation is thrilled to announce the return of our signature event — the Heart of a Tiger Gala, taking place Thursday, February 5, 2026, at the stunning Canyonwood Ridge.
Each year, this unforgettable evening brings together our community’s most passionate supporters to celebrate the strength, generosity, and spirit that define Dripping Springs.
The Heart of a Tiger Gala is more than an elegant night out — it’s a powerful celebration of purpose, raising vital funds to support our teachers, students, and schools.
Guests will enjoy a memorable evening featuring:
- Cocktail hour and dinner with friends and fellow supporters
- Engagement Stations with a take home keepsake to remember the night
- Premium silent and live auctions
- A celebration among community
- A heartfelt Fund-the-Mission moment celebrating the true heart of our district — our educators and students
While the evening will carry a subtle touch of natural elegance inspired by an enchanted garden, the true magic will come from the energy and generosity of our community.
Proceeds from the Heart of a Tiger Gala directly benefit the programs of the Dripping Springs Education Foundation, funding innovative teaching grants, student leadership initiatives, and staff appreciation efforts across all DSISD campuses.
Save the date, gather your table of friends, and join us for a night of celebration and impact. Because when our community comes together with the heart of a tiger, there’s no limit to what we can achieve.
