Katy Angels Founders Rod Batson & Jake Gottfried

One of Katy’s newest organizations has shown their commitment to serving the community at a high-level. Whether it’s supporting efforts for those with special needs, or providing kids in foster care with toys for the Holidays, Katy’s Angels are truly the epitome of their name. On Saturday, February 1st, the Katy Angels hosted their 2nd Inaugural Gala  which was sold out.  Katy Angels took advantage of this evening by giving back to the community, allowing attendees to hear testimonials from those impacted in the area, and so much more. With over 300+ people in attendance, this community initiative was nothing short of amazing opportunities for those in need.
