We are thrilled to announce that the 2026 Crystal Gala is officially sold out! While the event at the K-State Alumni Center will be a night of celebration, our mission to catalyze community health continues.
Investing in the “Glue”
The focus of this year’s investment is the Flint Hills Community Care Team (FHCCT) Coordinator. This essential role manages referrals and coordinates efforts among 30 local partner agencies—including the Riley County Health Department and Pawnee Mental Health—to ensure a compassionate, wrap-around safety net for our neighbors.

Progress requires action. If you aren’t attending the Gala, you can still be a catalyst:
