El Paso Extravaganza – Save the Date!

Get ready for the 2025 El Paso Extravaganza, happening on Thursday, November 6, 2025! We are planning another unforgettable evening filled with excitement, inspiration, and philanthropy, all in support of higher education and mental health initiatives for our community.

Stay tuned—our entertainment lineup will be announced soon! You won’t want to miss this incredible night of laughter, entertainment, and opportunities to make a lasting impact.

Mark your calendars and plan to join us for a memorable evening in support of students and the future of our community.

Supporting Higher Education and Mental Health
Your participation in the El Paso Extravaganza has an even greater purpose this year. In addition to funding scholarships for deserving students in South and West Texas, we are proud to introduce a new initiative focused on addressing the growing need for mental health professionals in our communities.

The Stars Scholarship Fund and the LaMantia Family have launched a groundbreaking program, announced by Texas Senator and Stars Board Chairperson Morgan LaMantia, to support Master of Science in Social Work graduates aspiring to become Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs). This initiative provides significant financial and logistical support, covering the majority of supervision costs and essential training. By empowering culturally and linguistically competent mental health professionals, we aim to meet critical community needs.

With a $1 million pledge from the LaMantia family, the program will begin with a partnership at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley in the 2024-2025 school year, supporting a cohort of 36 students. A second program in partnership with the University of Texas at El Paso is projected to launch in Spring 2025.
