A Speakeasy Experience in New Braunfels

This isn’t your ordinary fundraiser.

McKenna Events Center will be transformed into a 1920s-inspired speakeasy filled with entertainment, food, cocktails and plenty of surprises.

Guests can look forward to:

•  Casino tables featuring blackjack, roulette and craps for entertainment

•  Open bar and signature speakeasy cocktails

•  Elite hors d’oeuvres and specialty desserts

•  Silent auction packages and experiences

•  A Murder Mystery experience

•  Bottle Toss

•  Grand prizes

And, of course, you’re invited to dress the part. Flapper dresses, tailored suits, suspenders, feathers and pearls are encouraged, but cocktail attire is welcome too.

Why Your Night Out Matters

Behind all the fun is an important purpose.

Proceeds from the Thanks & Giving Speakeasy Gala support the EdenHill Benevolence Fund, which helps ensure residents facing unexpected financial need can continue to receive care, dignity and community.

For generations, EdenHill Communities has served older adults and families in New Braunfels with a mission centered around compassionate care and community.

Every ticket purchased, sponsorship and donation helps that mission continue.

So while you’re enjoying an evening of jazz-age glamour, you’re also helping make a meaningful difference for EdenHill residents.
