2026 BIG DREAMS GALA
Celebrate Dia de los muertos (day of the Dead)
At The Concilio, we celebrate Día de los Muertos by honoring the resilience of Latino families and the opportunities that empower future generations. The Big Dreams Gala is a tribute to heritage, hope, and inspiring families to dream big. Your support helps us continue creating lasting opportunities for families—during this celebration and beyond.
For 45 years, The Concilio has helped the North Texas families turn dreams into opportunities and build stronger futures for generations to come. Since our founding, The Concilio has served more than 2 million people across North Texas, creating lasting impact in communities throughout the region.
The Big Dreams Gala is our signature annual celebration, bringing together community leaders, supporters, partners, and friends to honor the impact of our work and invest in the future of North Texas families. This year, we’re celebrating 45 Years of The Concilio and the generations of success made possible through the support of our community. The evening will highlight the people, partnerships, and stories that have shaped our journey while looking ahead to the opportunities and drems that will inspire the next generation.
Join us for the 2026 Big Dreams Gala on Friday, October 30, 2026, for an unforgettable evening of celebration, connection, and purpose as we honor 45 years of impact and look toward the future.
Together, we can continue creating opportunities, strengthening families, and building a brighter future for North Texas- one generation at a time.
