Dear Gala supporter, 

THANK YOU SO MUCH for supporting us with your presence at our highly successful Phi Kappa Theta Alamo Alumni Association annual fundraising Gala on June 6th, 2026 here in San Antonio, TX. 

Without your attendance, we wouldn’t have enjoyed ourselves with so much wonderful witty banter, engaged conversation, healthy humor, raucous laughter, beyond the dinner and dancing. 

Additionally, every item offered in our Silent Auction sold! What blessings, as these funds help pay for our bills and serve to support our additional fundraising opportunities, such as our TV raffle and guided Hunting Trip raffles, along with our altruistic efforts here in our community, besides the awards, certificates and medals for our speakers and scholarship winning undergraduate PKT brothers. Therefore, THANK YOU! 

Additionally, for those of you who chose to donate their hard earned money in any fashion, THANK YOU! 

Lastly, thanks to our mighty Lord for allowing us all to travel and enjoy the terrific time that He blessed us. 

In service to you, 

Mark Dziadul
President

To Our Donors, Attendees, Family, Friends, and Brothers,

On behalf of the Texas Roundup Gala Committee, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this year's Gala an overwhelming success. Your generosity, support, and presence helped create an evening that will be remembered for years to come.

We were honored to hear from our keynote speaker and newly initiated Brother, Chris Mahoney, whose words inspired us all and reminded us of the strength of our Brotherhood and the importance of giving back to our communities.

We are truly grateful for everyone who contributed their time, talents, and treasure in preparing for and decorating the event. From the countless hours of planning to the laughter, fellowship, and memories shared along the way, every contribution helped make this Gala our best one yet.

A special thank you goes to those who supported our mission through generous monetary donations to our endowment managed by our parent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, as well as through participation in our raffles and silent auction. Your support directly impacts our ability to continue serving and supporting future generations.

I would also like to express my sincere appreciation to our Brothers, committee chairs, and volunteers whose dedication made this event possible. Thank you to our Gala Committee, Scholarship Committee, Decorating Committee, Silent Auction Committee, and IT Committee for your tireless work and commitment to excellence.

We were also honored to extend an invitation for affiliate membership consideration to Alex Ortega, son of Brother Hugo Ortega, continuing the tradition of family, legacy, and Brotherhood that makes our organization so special.

Finally, the most meaningful moment of the evening was the official renaming of our Gala in honor and memory of my mentor, Brother, friend, and former Gala Director, Brother Luther "Lou" Luera. His leadership, vision, and unwavering dedication helped shape this event into what it is today. It was a fitting tribute to a man whose impact on our Brotherhood will never be forgotten.

Thank you all for helping make this year's Texas Roundup Gala a tremendous success. Together, we continue to strengthen our Brotherhood, support our communities, and build a lasting legacy for future generations.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Alex Zepeda

Texas Roundup Gala Director
