The Graeme McDaniel Foundation’s 3rd Annual Graeme’s Gala will take place on Thursday, September 25, 2025, at the breathtaking Beckendorff Farms in Katy, TX.

Put on your black tie or gown and join us for cocktails (open bar), fine dining, live entertainment, remarks from local cardiology experts & families personally affected by congenital heart defects and conclude with dancing with old and new friends. This evening will also feature opportunities to support The Graeme McDaniel Foundation through silent & live auctions and a paddle raise.  Last year, our supporters helped us raise over $340,000! Together with families, community and business leaders, medical experts, partners and sponsors, we will raise critical funding to support research on the nation’s most common birth defect.
