Dear John, 

Prepare to be inspired at the 2025 Texas Values Faith, Family, & Freedom Gala by Coach Joe Kennedy who won the football prayer case at the U. S. Supreme Court and Kelly Shackelford, President of First Liberty Institute, who represented Coach Joe Kennedy at the U. S. Supreme Court. Because of our Coach Kennedy Supreme Court victory, a bad legal precedent is gone.

This victory brings a powerful revelation — the days of Americans hiding their faith in public are over!

Coach Kennedy worked directly with Texas Values to pass two 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; a victory protecting prayer and Bible reading in Texas schools!

Senator Angela Paxton will be our Master of Ceremonies and you'll also have the opportunity to meet College Athlete Brooke Slusser who stood firm against having to compete against a male and share a locker room, hotel, and apartment with him, while he pretended to be female. Brooke helped us pass the Texas Women's Privacy Act in 2025!

Enjoy an incredible evening with like-minded friends. Together, we can embrace the power of our voices, champion freedom, and ensure our representation in government!

Highlights include: Special presentations, a look ahead into 2026, and the 11th Annual Kelly Shackelford Award.

Texas Values board member Kelly Shackelford recently met with President Donald J. Trump following The Religious Liberty Commission meeting, where Kelly serves as a member.
