What is the Khaki & Plaid Gala?

The Annual Khaki & Plaid Gala is the premier fundraiser for Catholic school education within the Archdiocese of San Antonio. Organized by Hope for the Future---an agency of the Archdiocese---in collaboration with the Khaki & Plaid Committee and the Stewardship & Development Department, this event plays a crucial role in supporting our mission.

Hope for the Future is dedicated to helping families access the academic and spiritual benefits of a Catholic school education through need-based tuition assistance. Your generous contribution directly supports students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds, providing them with the opportunity to receive an outstanding education rooted in faith at a Catholic school of their choice within the Archdiocese of San Antonio.
