This city shaped who we are, the values we hold, and the work we are proud to do every day,” said Catherine and Bob Hilliard. “Hilliard Center represents more than a building – it’s a place where community, connection, and shared moments come to life. To light the marquee and celebrate this milestone alongside the people of the Coastal Bend is incredibly meaningful to our family and our law firm, and we are deeply grateful for the trust, support, and spirit of this community.”
The event is open to the public and welcomes all ages. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy the full experience and take part in what is expected to be a once-in-a-generation moment for Corpus Christi.
