SPRING FOR THE WATER GALA

Spring 2027 | Stay Tuned for date, tickets & details

Our annual springtime event celebrates and supports our mission to bring clean water to the people of Burundi. One village at a time.

Attendees get an insider’s view of what challenges exist, what progress is being made, and how generous Central Texans can spread health, hope and opportunity by way of clean water.


2026 RECAP: Spring For The Water Gala

A sold-out crowd gathered at Hotel ZaZa on Saturday evening, February 28, 2026, for a powerful night of celebration and impact, raising support to bring clean water to more communities in Burundi.

Guests began the evening with an immersive, eye-opening water walk simulation, offering a glimpse into the daily journey many take to collect water. That shared experience set the tone for the night, which continued with dinner, dancing, a lively auction, and a photo booth to capture the moment.

The smiles tell the story of a community coming together to build clean water systems that transform daily life in Burundi.
