On Friday, November 7th, more than 375 supporters of Galveston Bay Foundation gathered at The Revaire in Houston for an unforgettable evening celebrating the future of our Bay. This year’s Imagine Gala invited guests to imagine a Galveston Bay that continues to thrive for years to come—and they did just that, helping raise over $710,000 to support the Foundation’s vital conservation, education, research, and restoration work.
The theme came to life from the moment guests entered the room. Dreamy clouds floated overhead, and the space was filled with interactive activations and stunning wall displays showcasing each of GBF’s core program areas. The creative design, brought to life by RL Design, encouraged everyone to pause, participate, and truly imagine what a healthy, resilient Galveston Bay can look like with community support.
Guests enjoyed a lively silent and live auction, featuring stunning items, one-of-a-kind experiences, world trips, and coastal getaways, with every bid helping to fund projects that protect the Bay’s waters, wildlife, and wetlands.
“At Galveston Bay Foundation, we’re not just working for today, we’re building for tomorrow. The Imagine Gala was more than a celebration—it was a reminder that when we come together for the Bay, we create lasting change,” said Bob Stokes, President of Galveston Bay Foundation. “Every dollar raised helps us keep Galveston Bay healthy and vibrant for generations to come.”
The evening also recognized the outstanding contributions of this year’s honorees, Cheniere Energy and Mary and Brad Robbins, whose leadership and commitment have made a lasting impact on GBF’s mission.
The Foundation extends heartfelt thanks to the event’s top sponsors, including Transocean, John P. McGovern Foundation, Macey & Harry Reasoner, and Kyle & John Kirksey, as well as the many other sponsors, donors, volunteers, and guests who made the evening possible. Together, we’re imagining—and building—a brighter future for Galveston Bay.
