Courage to CLIMB Event – Empowering Growth, Inspiring Greatness

November 13, 2025

We're sliding back to the 70s and want you along for the ride! Clayton's inaugural Courage to CLIMB will be an evening of flashbacks, laughter, and fundraising - 70s style! Guests will enjoy unique-themed drinks, a great dinner, and plenty of opportunities to celebrate in style. The dress code is '70s cocktail, so get ready to break out your grooviest looks.

Our adults-only event is a one-of-a-kind way to celebrate Clayton's 50th anniversary and support a great cause through your exclusive personal or corporate sponsorship or individual tickets.

We are honored to have Betsy Price, former Mayor of Fort Worth, serve as our Honorary Chair for this milestone event. This special evening will also honor two longtime Clayton champions, Whitley Penn and Karen Denney, for their dedicated contributions to the success of Clayton's mission.

Don't miss out on this unique experience!
