Welcome to our 3rd Annual "One Heart Touching Many" Gala benefitting the Michael James Cotton Foundation.

Denim & Diamonds is the Theme for our
2026 Fundraiser.

Attire is Formal to Country Casual with Flair!

 

Our Foundation financially supports young Women and Men 17-30 years old who cannot afford the support needed to help conquer the growing challenges of addiction, depression, and mental health.


Although an accident took Michael from this world way too early, he won his addiction and mental health battle against great odds. Together, with your help, The Michael James Cotton Foundation provides the opportunity to others who have the desire and drive but lack the economic means that Michael had available allowing him to achieve Victory.

Please join us for a fun-filled Casino evening which will include dinner, beverages, and silent and live auctions in the fabulous Vistas Ballroom, Lakeway Resort and Spa. 

 

*Every dollar raised goes directly to young adults. In 2 years, our Foundation has funded over 100 applicants via grant awards.*
