Achievement Center of Texas has a number of events that it hosts throughout the year, some of the at the center itself, larger ones at off-site locations. Some of these events help us raise funds for our center, making it possible for us to provide outstanding service and educational opportunities for our students. All of these events are for the purpose of uplifting and celebrating our students with special needs.
ACT Gala - Kentucky Derby Themed
On Saturday, June 9, 2018 from 7:30 to 11:30 p.m. (CST), we'll host our Annual Gala, a formal fundraising event, at the Garland Atrium. This year's gala is Kentucky Derby themed! We'll display past races (taking care not to give away the years for the race as the start) and take bets on the winning racehorse. We will also have a hat contest for ladies and all other participants. To take the theme home, we'll also have a "winners" photo op.
In addition, we'll have a keynote speaker, a silent auction, a grand trip raffle and a wine pull. You have the ability to bid in our silent auction through this portal without even purchasing a ticket. The other opportunities are only presented to those who attend the gala.
Click the "Bid on Items" button below to bid the silent auctions that are available to bid on.
With the purchase of an individual ticket, you have access to our all-you-can-eat heavy hors d'oeurves, one seat at a table and three (3) drink tickets. Additional drinks are available for purchase, but are not included in the price of one individual ticket. You may also reserve a full table, which includes 10 tickets and all that comes with an individual ticket purchase for each admission.

The Special Arts Festival is a day of hands-on fun and activity! Our students work all year long to perform here. At the Special Arts Festival, we have live entertainment spotlighting our students along with students from other programs.
Attendees participate in activities and take home their finished product. You never know who will be there but our special guest, partner and founder John Bramblitt is always offering guidance and hands-on painting advice.
