Save the date for Asia Society Texas’ annual gala, Tiger Ball 2024 – Celebrating Magnificent Asia. At this special evening on Friday, March 1, 2024, join global luminaries and local dignitaries to honor longtime Houstonians Sabria and Kevin Lewis for their commitment to building bridges of international understanding, uplifting Asian culture, and strengthening the vibrant diversity within Houston.

Tiger Ball 2024 provides significant financial support for Asia Society Texas' public programming. Each year since its opening in 2012, Asia Society Texas has annually offered more than 150 programs uplifting arts, culture, and education and underscoring our shared humanity and role as global citizens. Funds raised at Tiger Ball represent nearly one-third of the organization's annual budget and underwrite stunning exhibitions and captivating performances, thoughtful policy discussions, and engaging educational offerings for children and families.

With limited seating, the festive evening event will once again take place at Asia Society Texas Center in the Museum District. We look forward to seeing you at a memorable evening filled with exciting support for global engagement, cultural empathy, and educational programming.
