We are delighted to share that our 2025 Annual Benefit Dinner, held on Saturday, October 25, at the Hilton Austin, was an unforgettable evening celebrating life and the incredible pro-life community across Texas.

More than 1,300 pro-life leaders, partners, advocates, candidates, and elected officials joined us for an inspiring night filled with faith, hope, and purpose — united around one mission: protecting life in Texas and beyond.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended, served, and gave so generously to make this year’s event such a success. Because of your partnership, the finish line toward our fundraising goal is in sight — and with your help, we can cross it together for life.

Your continued support makes it possible for Texas Alliance for Life to advocate for the protection of life at the Capitol, educate voters across the state with our Pro-Life Voters Guide, inform families about resources for mothers and babies, and defend pro-life laws in court.
