Join Us for an Out-of-this-World Celebration: 53 Years of Compassionate Healthcare!

This year, we’re over the moon to celebrate 53 stellar years of unwavering service to our community. From our humble beginnings in 1972 to now, CommuniCare has been a guiding star, illuminating the path to accessible, compassionate healthcare for all in South-Central Texas. Join us as we launch into a night of cosmic wonder at our “Across the Universe: A Celestial Gala,” hosted by the CommuniCare Health Foundation.

All proceeds from this interstellar evening will support the vital programs offered at CommuniCare, a 501(c)(3) non-profit community health center system. CommuniCare provides a galaxy of services, including adult medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, dental care, behavioral health, and specialty care, to thousands of uninsured and underinsured residents across Bexar, Hays, and Kendall counties.

Your contributions are tax-deductible and will propel our mission forward, funding expansion initiatives that ensure our services reach even more individuals in need. Last year alone, we served 58,174 adults and 69,815 children through over 549,994 office visits. With your support, we can continue to make a universe of difference in the lives of those we serve.

So, put on your most dazzling attire and prepare for an evening that’s truly out of this world. Together, let’s chart a course for a brighter, healthier future!

Guests are encouraged to wear cocktail attire inspired by the vastness of outer space, from bright, burning stars to the multi-colored nebulas that decorate our galaxy. Costumes are highly encouraged, so feel free to arrive in a UFO complete with antennas and space boots or come dressed as a personified version of your astrology/zodiac sign. Please refrain from wearing jeans! Check out our Pinterest board for some stellar outfit ideas if you need inspiration!
