2025 LOOKBOOK
Welcome from the Chairs
Welcome to the 2025 Cattle Baron’s Ball! Cattle Baron’s Ball is committed to raising money to fund cutting-edge cancer research with the goal of ending cancer as we know it, for everyone. This year we are firing on All Cylinders as we continue the fight against cancer in our community and nationwide.
The very first Cattle Baron’s Ball was held here in Dallas, and in true Texas fashion, the Dallas Cattle Baron’s Ball continues to break records and cement its place as the largest single-night fundraiser for the American Cancer Society in the world. Since its inception in 1973, CBB has transformed into a powerful movement, raising over $105 million for the American Cancer Society, the majority of which stays right here in North Texas.
This work would not be possible without our dedicated committee of volunteers and most importantly you, our awe-inspiring donors!
Whether you donated to our silent auction, live auction, or are one of our sponsors, each of you made a difference. We express our sincere gratitude that you continue to support our cause and our community. We thank you and look forward to seeing you on October 25th for the 52nd Cattle Baron’s Ball!
