The ATHENA Society of Burleson brings together women who believe in making a difference, not just for themselves, but for the community. Its mission is anchored in leadership, wisdom, and philanthropy. The name ATHENA, drawn from the Greek goddess known for her intelligence, courage, and strategic mind, reminds the Society’s members of the values they strive to embody every day.
Members contribute in many tangible ways. Together, they foster a culture in which women can connect, collaborate, and thrive.
Each year, The ATHENA Society of Burleson’s signature event brings all of this together into one memorable evening. This year’s gala is planned to be elegant and meaningful, an occasion of fellowship, celebration, and purpose. Guests will be treated to an evening of enriched conversation, fine dining, and delightful surprises. Raffle prizes of great value will be offered, adding both excitement and purpose to the night. Alongside the raffles, the Tree Sponsorship program offers a beautiful way to leave a symbolic legacy. Families, businesses, and individuals can sponsor a tree each one representing hope, generosity, and a lasting tribute to those they wish to honor.
Sponsorship is still open: The ATHENA Society of Burleson welcomes event sponsors and tree sponsors, whose support is crucial. The funds raised will support their mission. Ticket sales are now underway, and every ticket purchased directly contributes to these efforts. By attending, guests will not only be part of a fun and elegant evening, but also be a part of an enduring legacy of service.
One member reflects, “The ATHENA Society of Burleson is about more than service it is about sisterhood, growth, and lifting each other up.” Another adds, “When women come together with one vision, the entire community benefits.”
The ATHENA Society of Burleson invites you to join in this special evening, whether as a ticket holder, sponsor, or supporter. Together, we can continue to build a stronger, more prosperous future for Burleson.
The Tree-Mendous Gala is Saturday November 8, 2025. Click here for tickets and more info.
