Sadly, we have made the difficult decision to not hold this year’s Cattle Baron’s Ball in person, that was scheduled for October 17th, 2020. While it is disappointing, we appreciate your understanding of the quickly changing conditions and the support of our donors. In an effort to raise the most funds for cancer research in North Texas, we are committed to moving forward with our raffle, online auction and mission fundraising. More information coming soon!
