Forty years in the making

November 18, 2025

We are thankful to all who attended the in-person annual luncheon on November 12, 2025, at the Abilene Convention Center. With more than 650 people in attendance, including nearly 50 former and current Foundation board members, our 40th anniversary celebration was one to remember!

40 YEAR REPORT

While our annual report reflects the past fiscal year, this special issue also pays tribute to our history, then and now.

FEATURED PRESENTATION

Local historian Jay Moore provided a story of our forty years at the annual luncheon. In case you missed it, you can view Jay's presentation and see the event photo gallery by clicking on the buttons below.

STAY CONNECTED

Follow the Foundation on social media — Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or YouTube — to engage with our anniversary content throughout the year. Posts will feature the hashtag #CFAx40.

Until then, we hope to see you next year in 2026 – Tuesday, Nov. 10.
