On Friday, February 20, 2026, we’re bringing the magic back to the Stockyards as we take over Tannahill’s Tavern & Music Hall for the 7th Annual Cowboys Helping Cowboys Charity Ball, and if you’re reading this, you’re more than likely part of a sold-out crowd ready to show what the rodeo community is truly made of.
We say it all the time…We are the best community. Now it’s time to prove it.

🎤 What You’ll Experience
This isn’t just a gala. This is a night where generosity meets grit.
You’ll hear from former professional bull rider and CHC beneficiary Bonner Bolton, who will share his full-circle journey, from a life-changing injury to the long road of healing that follows when the arena lights fade. His story reminds us why CHC exists and why your support matters far beyond one night.
And when it’s time to kick up your boots? Fort Worth legend The Randy Brown Show takes the stage with steel, fiddle, twang, and soul, delivering the kind of Texas soundtrack that keeps the dance floor full and the energy high all night long.
💰 Come Ready to Bid Big
The live and silent auctions will feature one-of-a-kind items and unforgettable experiences.
This is your moment.
Every paddle raised.
Every bid placed.
Every dollar given.
It all goes back to cowboys and cowgirls who are navigating life after catastrophic injury or severe illness. When they’re at their lowest, we show up.
The rodeo community is known for being one of, if not THE strongest, community in sports. We consider ourselves more than a community of acquaintances and colleagues; we are a family. And family shows up for one another.
Let’s prove it with our actions.
👢 Show Up & Show Off Your Formal Western Flair
Dress to impress, Western elegance is welcomed and encouraged!
FOR THE GENTLEMEN:
Jacket + tie required (bolo, bow, or classic, your call). Starched, creased jeans are welcome. Boots and hats are encouraged, just leave the ranch and arena dust at home. 😉 Make yourself shine!
LADIES:
You never disappoint. We already know you’ll bring all the style and elegance!
If you have any additional questions about attire? Feel free to reach out to Dave Samsel at dave@cowboyshelpingcowboys.com.
🤝 Why This Night Matters
Throughout the evening, you’ll meet beneficiaries whose lives were changed because this community stepped up.
This isn’t about a party.
It’s about showing injured athletes that they are not forgotten when the crowd leaves.
It’s about helping them take a breath during the darkest chapter of their lives.
It’s about keeping the cowboy spirit alive, not just in the arena, but in how we take care of our own.
