Houston’s Upcoming “Denim & Diamonds” Gala Shines Bright for Aristoi Charter Students

Houston, TX —Get ready for boots, bling, and a beautiful cause! Aristoi Classical Academy’s 14th Annual Griffin Gala is set to dazzle on Saturday, May 3, 2025, from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. at The Cannon West Houston—a striking, two-story venue known for sparking innovation and collaboration.

This year’s theme, “Denim & Diamonds,” pairs rustic charm with sparkling sophistication for a night filled with live music, gourmet food, raffles, auctions, and heartfelt giving. Guests will enjoy crowd-favorite tunes by The Greg Sury Band, fine dining from Wolfgang Puck Catering, sweet treats from Houston BBQ Company (an Aristoi family-owned business), and rich coffee courtesy of Just Love Coffee.

Special Alumni & Teacher Table

In a nod to the Aristoi community’s roots, the Gala also features a discounted alumni and teacher table for just $850.Open to anyone who wants to honor or include former students and staff, this table is a unique chance for past and present Griffins to reconnect and celebrate together.

Why This Gala Matters

Aristoi is a tuition-free public charter school, but receives $1,278 less per student than traditional public schools—adding up to a $2 million annual gap. This year’s Gala has set an ambitious fundraising goal of $300,330, with the goal of bridging the funding gap for 235 students and continuing Aristoi’s mission to provide a world-class classical education rooted in virtue and wisdom.

Make a Bigger Impact: Sponsor & Win!

All Gala sponsors will be automatically entered into a special raffle for a luxury overnight stay at Hotel ZaZa Memorial City—a thank-you for helping build brighter futures. Sponsorships are still available, and every dollar raised directly benefits students, programs, and educational resources.
