Stars Scholarship Fund hosted its annual Rio Grande Valley Extravaganza on Thursday, April 17, 2025, at the Mission Events Center, welcoming 450 guests for an evening of laughter and philanthropy. Themed “Comedy & Comfort for College,” the event featured stand-up comedian Steve Treviño. It raised $215,000 in sponsorships, translating to $400,000 in scholarships for the 2025–2026 academic year with matching contributions from university partners. An additional $80,000 was raised through the evening’s live auction. Proceeds will support students across South and West Texas in pursuing higher education.
