In years past, Thomas J. Henry's birthday has been the kind of spectacle that lights up headlines—think Cardi B commanding the mic, Pitbull igniting the stage, or Steve Aoki launching cake into the crowd. Lavish parties, private jets, and glittering guest lists packed with influencers and celebrities have long defined the Texas-based attorney’s annual celebration. But this year, Henry is trading champagne flutes for something far more impactful: a $1 million giveaway and the launch of a new philanthropic center in Corpus Christi.

As of April 7, Henry has kicked off a nine-month charitable initiative that will see $5,000 awarded to five individuals every week—a total of $25,000 weekly. And in December, two grand prize winners will each receive $100,000, rounding out the program’s full $1 million commitment. The effort is open to anyone in the state of Texas, with an easy entry process via bit.ly/tjhmilliondollargiveaway.

Unlike previous years, when his birthday festivities often blended A-list performance art with philanthropy, this shift represents a deeper alignment with long-term community impact. For Henry, the change is less about making a splash and more about making a difference.

In tandem with the financial support, Henry is opening a philanthropic center in Corpus Christi, a physical space dedicated to assisting local individuals and nonprofits through qualified aid requests and community-driven initiatives. While the weekly giveaways will provide immediate relief to dozens across Texas, the center aims to foster long-term sustainability by serving as a year-round hub for support, resources, and guidance.

This evolution in Henry’s public persona may surprise those who’ve followed his career through headlines filled with red carpets and roaring stages, but it’s not entirely new. Previous birthday celebrations have often had a charitable component, benefiting child advocacy groups and community foundations. What’s different this time is scale—and intent.

For a figure who has long celebrated success on a grand stage, Henry’s 2025 birthday reflects a more grounded kind of celebration. One that honors those who’ve supported his journey while extending a hand to complete strangers in need. It’s a reminder that luxury and legacy are not mutually exclusive—and that sometimes, the most impactful gestures are the quietest.

Giveaway Open To: Residents of Texas
Weekly Awards: $5,000 to 5 individuals every week
Grand Prizes: Two $100,000 winners in December
Philanthropic Center Location: Corpus Christi, Texas
Entry Link: bit.ly/tjhmilliondollargiveaway
