Cattle Baron’s Ball Starts the Year Firing on “All Cylinders”

By Isabella Castillo / Contributor

Last year’s Cattle Baron’s Ball may have broken fundraising records, but that doesn’t mean this year’s Ball Committee plans to take it easy.

The Cattle Baron’s Ball unveiled 2025’s logo and theme — “All Cylinders” — during a reveal party at Rodeo Cold Bar on Feb. 5. The theme sets the tone for an unforgettable year of pushing past barriers and reaching the Ball’s full potential.

2025 Ball co-chairs Courtney Derderian and Nina Sachse invited past chairs and active members to the theme’s unveiling. 

Guests wore their best cowboy boots and fringe to celebrate the theme in a vibrant atmosphere that featured neon lights and a Rock’n’Roll cowboy theme. Signature cocktails and appetizers were served as members mingled with friends to discuss the upcoming Ball. 

The Cattle Baron’s Ball has raised over $105 million for cancer research since its inception in 1974. True to Texas’ history of rising to a challenge, the Ball has become the world’s largest single-night fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.
