Values and Mission
We are devoted to advancing the noble mission of the Knights Templar's non-profit initiatives by supporting Christians in the Holy Land. This is accomplished by enhancing lives through funding education through scholarships, engaging in the delivery of humanitarian aid via the Denton Amendment and Operation Knight Flight, and aiding the health needs of those in the Holy Land. In addition, we support our American veterans, whose duty and service to our country is a reminder of our country's highest ideals. We provide aid and assistance to various local charities in the hope of transformative change in our home communities. This gala serves as a catalyst for a ripple effect of positive transformation that reaches well beyond the event's confines. Our ultimate vision is one where people of Faith, irrespective of their backgrounds, unite, transcending boundaries, and collaboratively tackle the most pressing challenges of our era. The Templar Gala stands as a testament to our collective aspiration: a world illuminated by compassion, unity, and philanthropy, forging a path towards a brighter future.
