2026 Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show Sale of Champions!
This year, we were proud to award $226,550 to 179 exhibitors representing 51 clubs and chapters from across the Rio Grande Valley. These young men and women are the future of our industry, and we are honored to play a small part in supporting their hard work, dedication, and commitment to agriculture.
The Gala Group was incredibly honored to be recognized as the Top Buyer at this year’s Sale of Champions. It’s a reflection of what can be accomplished when a community comes together with one goal, giving back to the next generation!
On behalf of Co-Chairmen Logan Thomas and Erica Echartea, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this possible. From our dedicated Gala Committee, to our generous event sponsors, auction item donors, buyers, and all those who supported us throughout the year. None of this would be possible without each one of you!
Be sure to mark your calendars for October 24, 2026 for this year’s Gala Fundraiser!
