Step into a night of elegance, unity, and purpose at Velvet Nights: A Holiday Affair — the Texas Southern University National Alumni Association’s inaugural major fundraising gala. This landmark event brings the Houston community, TSU alumni together in celebration of the season and in support of transformative initiatives, including student scholarships, centennial programming, and the continued advancement of TSU’s mission.

Guests will arrive ready to toast the holidays and uplift the Tiger legacy. With music, fellowship, and a spirit of giving, this evening promises to be more than a celebration — it’s a chance to party with a purpose and make history together.

This isn’t your typical holiday soirée — instead of a formal sit-down dinner, guests will enjoy a vibrant evening filled with festive food, lively entertainment, and immersive experiences designed to keep the celebration going all night long.

This is a holiday event you won’t want to miss!

The dress code is semi-formal. Gentlemen are encouraged to wear suits, while ladies may opt for elegant cocktail attire.

Tickets are $50.00. $40.00 of your ticket goes towards TSUNAA’s scholarship program, or 2026 programs and initiatives (The Yard Experience, etc.) and to our 2027 centennial alumni goals.
$10.00 will be used to purchase a toy for a child in 3rd Ward to make their Christmas brighter!
