Join us on October 10th, 2026 from 6:00PM to 11:00 PM at the exquisite Four Seasons Hotel Austin for the Hope Warrior Gala, a signature fundraising event hosted by the Malachi's Message Foundation. This enchanting evening will feature a live auction filled with exclusive items.
This year’s theme, “A Rising Tide Raises All Ships,” reflects the power of unity and what’s possible when we come together to support families affected by toxic mold exposure.
Your attendance directly supports Malachi’s Message Foundation in providing resources, advocacy, and hope to those navigating one of the most challenging health and housing crises many families will ever face.
Last year, attendees helped raise more than $100,000 to support families in need. This year, join 300 Hope Warriors at the Four Seasons Hotel Austin for dinner, live auction, and an evening with people who understand.
2026 Keynote Speaker: Chief Jeffrey Yarbrough
Chief Yarbrough is a police chief, author, and U.S. Army veteran with more than 30 years in law enforcement, investigations, and school safety. He served with the 101st Airborne during Operation Desert Storm, and his career since has centered on truth, accountability, and the pursuit of justice.
Those principles became personal after his own family experienced toxic mold in their newly built home. He came to understand how overwhelming it is when a family has to fight for answers and for the protection of their own health.
His message is that when one family finds the courage to speak up, it gives others the strength to do the same, and that justice should not depend on who has the loudest influence or the most resources.
Emcee and auctioneer: Tom Riles
Tom has entertained at benefit galas and corporate events and on more than 200 television shows. For sixteen years he opened for The Ellen DeGeneres Show, American Idol, and Dancing with the Stars.
