The Judge Al Alonso Therapeutic Justice Gala 2027

Building on 25 Years of Therapeutic Justice

There are evenings that are simply events, and there are evenings that remind us why the work matters.

The 2027 Judge Al Alonso Therapeutic Justice Gala is one of those evenings.

We gather to build on 25 years of treatment court transformation in Bexar County and to honor the unsung heroes behind every transformation. What began as a single Drug Court envisioned by Judge Alonso has grown into a strong network of specialty courts serving this community with accountability, treatment, compassion, and discipline.

But the courts alone are not what change people's lives.

Behind every graduate is a team. Staff who show up. Judges who lead. Mentors who understand the road. Treatment providers who do the difficult work. Sponsors and community partners who make support possible when traditional funding is not enough.

This year, we honor those people.

Did you know? With every Specialty Court graduate, lives are changed and communities are strengthened — and U.S. taxpayers save an estimated $6,000 per successful graduation. Your attendance and sponsorship directly support the treatment, accountability, and wraparound services that help participants stay engaged, stable, and moving forward.

Join us for an evening of purpose, gratitude, delicious food, and commitment as we celebrate the people behind the progress and continue the work of therapeutic justice in Bexar County.
