Night of Superstars

Night of Superstars is more than just a gala—it's a celebration of courage, tenacity, and heart. Each year, 700 of DFW’s most prominent business leaders gather to honor five incredible students who live with physical challenges or neurodiversity, yet have risen above every expectation to achieve greatness. This is also a time to reflect! Their stories remind us of what’s possible when we stop focusing on our circumstances—no matter how difficult—quiet our fears, and choose to show up with 100% effort every single day. 

Night of Superstars is a 100% volunteer-run organization, which means that 100% of the net proceeds from our galas go directly to our Superstar Scholarship Program! These crucial funds support our Superstars as they pursue college, trade school, or life-skills training at the institution of their choice.

WHY GIVE?

Unfortunately, many of our Superstars don’t qualify for federal student loans due to household income limits. On paper, they may appear financially stable, but the reality is often far different. A large majority of our Superstar families are living paycheck to paycheck, or deeply in debt, due to overwhelming medical expenses.

Insurance frequently denies coverage for special or experimental medications, essential medical procedures (including necessary travel), prosthetics, therapy and rehab. These costs fall directly on the shoulders of our Superstar parents, often totaling tens of thousands of dollars each year. And, sadly, Federal Student Aid doesn't account for these expenses when considering student loan applications.

That’s why every dollar we raise for our Superstar Scholarship Program truly matters. Your support directly impacts the future of these remarkable young individuals, helping them pursue education, training, and independence despite the odds they face.
