2025 Texas Values Faith, Family & Freedom Gala

This year’s Values Faith, Family & Freedom Gala will feature the powerful story of how Coach Joe Kennedy, along with Texas Values Board Member and President of First Liberty Institute Kelly Shackelford, took a school prayer case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and won!

Coach Joe Kennedy worked directly with Texas Values this year, testifying on the new state laws that give every Texas public employee and student the huge religious freedom victory and rights that he won at the Supreme Court. Thanks to the tremendous efforts of the Texas Values team and conservative legislators from around the state, both prayer and Bible reading are now protected in Texas schools. State Senator Angela Paxton will be our master of ceremonies and in attendance will be Denton’s own Brooke Slusser, a brave leader helping save women’s sports.
