It was an unforgettable evening at The Magnolia Gala 2025!
On February 22, 2025, you supported and experienced an enchanting night of inspiration, community, and giving back to support Magnolia Ranch’s mission. This will be a night to remember for all the right reasons. Guests arrived dressed in their finest, ready to celebrate, connect, and contribute to a cause that touches lives.
Our Guest Speaker for the Magnolia Gala 2025 was Brodie Croyle
Brodie Croyle is Executive Director of Big Oak ,Ranch, a Christian home for abused, neglected, orphaned and abandoned children. Big Oak Ranch consists of three ministries: Big Oak Girls’ Ranch in Springville, AL, Big Oak Boys’ Ranch in Gadsden, AL and Westbrook Christian School in Rainbow City, AL.
Brodie, his family and the staff at Big Oak are grounded in one purpose – to relieve the suffering of children. Big Oak Ranch has been focused on doing just that since 1974, with nearly 2,000 children calling it home.
Brodie’s calling at Big Oak Ranch is founded in the words of Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
You Supported a Worthy Cause for our Community.
The Magnolia Gala 2025 was more than a night of celebration—it was a testament to what we can achieve when we unite for a worthy cause. You turned compassion into action, and the ripple effects will be felt right here, where it matters most.
