50th Anniversary Gala

RMYA PRESENTS THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY GALA

As Roy Maas Youth Alternatives marks 50 years of caring for children who have experienced abuse, neglect, and complex trauma, our $1 million anniversary goal is about ensuring these children receive the level of care they truly need — not just the level that public funding covers.

Government support helps provide the basics, but it does not fund the full cost of trauma-informed care, licensed clinicians, safe and healing residential environments, or the facility improvements required to meet today’s higher-acuity needs.

Philanthropy makes the difference between a placement and a path to healing.

This investment will strengthen counseling that helps families stay together whenever possible and improve the therapeutic spaces and residential environments where children begin to feel safe, stable, and hopeful again.

Together, we can ensure the next 50 years begin with the same promise that started the first:

Every child deserves safety, stability, and the chance to dream again.

50th Anniversary Honoree

The Honorable Judge Specia (Ret.)

Judge Specia served as District Judge of the 225th District Court in San Antonio and was later appointed by Governor Rick Perry as Commissioner of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. During his tenure, he led significant reforms in child welfare and expanded prevention and early intervention efforts statewide. Judge Specia also authored the very first grant for Roy Maas Youth Alternatives’ founding program, The Bridge.
