Tonight is an evening of celebration, generosity, and support for Fort Worth Christian. We are truly grateful to have you here as we come together to make a lasting impact on our students and their futures. This incredible evening would not be possible without the generosity of our sponsors. We are especially grateful to our presenting sponsors, T&S Products and JWC Roofing/ADH Disaster Restoration. Your commitment to our mission enables us to continue providing an exceptional, Christ-centered education, and for that, we extend our deepest gratitude.
A very special thank you to our Gold Buckle Gala Chairs—Wendy Reedy, Katelyn Malone, Jaclyn Herrera, and Christina Bartha. Your dedication, leadership, and tireless efforts, along with your incredible committees, have created an unforgettable night for our FWC family. We are also deeply appreciative of Kinch Cato, our Assistant Head of School for Advancement, and his team, whose hard work and passion have played a vital role in making this event a success.
Your support tonight is more than a donation—it is an investment in the lives of our students and in the future of Christian leadership. At Fort Worth Christian, our mission is clear: We are a Christ-centered, college preparatory school where every student is known, loved, and valued; taught excellence in and out of the classroom; and empowered by a biblical worldview. Our vision is bold: We pray that every student and graduate of Fort Worth Christian is equipped for a lifetime of faith, service, and leadership for Christ. Tonight, we have the opportunity to make a profound difference. With a goal of raising $350,000 for Student Impact Projects (detailed below), every dollar given strengthens our ability to provide an outstanding education while ensuring that every student is equipped academically, spiritually, and as a leader for Christ. Let’s come together and give generously. Whether you raise your paddle, bid on auction items, or make a special donation, know that your generosity is shaping lives for eternity. Boots On! Bids Up!
Forward with Christ,
Dr. Terry Rodgers President and Head of School
