Cattle Baron’s Ball unveils 2024 theme, logo

Published 2:57 pm Thursday, September 28, 2023

In a bid to “Give Cancer the Boot,” the theme and logo for the 2024 Tyler Cattle Baron’s Ball were announced Thursday.

The ball, which will again benefit the American Cancer Society, will be held on Saturday, June 8, at the Texas Rose Horse Park. The event will be chaired by Kimberly Taylor.

There are two particularly important aspects that make the annual Tyler Cattle Baron’s Ball so important to our community:

1) Awareness: Cancer does not discriminate. Through volunteer efforts and with our media partners, the Tyler Cattle Baron’s Ball strives to educate the community on screenings, resources, and support.

2) Fundraising: Since 1988, the Tyler Cattle Baron’s Ball has raised funds benefiting the American Cancer Society. This volunteer led effort strives to raise funds through corporate sponsorships, individual donors, dedicated events, live and silent auctions.

In order to attack cancer from every angle, we have to come together. That’s why the Tyler community hosts one of the top balls in the state. This event offers a festive way to raise much needed funds to help the American Cancer Society save lives, celebrate lives, and lead the fight for a world without cancer.

The Tyler Cattle Baron’s Ball is entering its 36th year and was first held in June 1988. While much was known about this disease at that time, much more was not. To date, more than $17.5 million dollars has been raised locally to support both local and national cancer support services including cancer research. Without the help and local support of past contributors, this would not have been accomplished. The mission of the American Cancer Society is to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
