On Friday, April 20, 2012, Whataburger presented the first ever Driscoll Children's Gala - Rio Grande Valley. The event replaces the Fiesta de los Niños - Rio Grande Valley as Driscoll's signature fundraising event in the region. One hundred percent of the funds raised will be used for providing health care to children in the Rio Grande Valley subspecialty clinics.
