The American Cancer Society’s iconic Cattle Baron’s Ball, a western-themed gala founded 50 years ago in Dallas, thrives in 27 different cities across America who will collectively raise over $17 million this year towards the ongoing pursuit of a cure for cancer.

For the last 36 years, Houstonians and beyond have gathered for their own Texas-sized ball to enjoy entertainment from top country artists, night of event fun from gaming to pig races, and most importantly, lifesaving mission moments.
