Paddle Raise
A "paddle raise" is a targeted effort to raise money for a specific purpose within the American Cancer Society.
The Cowtown Ball 2024 Paddle Raise will focus on supporting patients in Texas through our Access to Care program - helping cancer patients get to their treatments and be able to continue treatments without worrying about the expense.
Help our cause by contributing to our Paddle Raise for Access to Care: Lodging and transportation grants in Texas.
Paddle raise donations are 100% tax deductible.
Who We Are
The Cowtown Ball is celebrating its 31st year in Fort Worth as a top Tarrant County gala. This event has raised more than $8.5 million for the American Cancer Society in the Fort Worth area. These funds are used to help people stay well, get well, find cures, and fight back against cancer in our community. Guests don cowboy chic attire for an evening of dining, dancing, and entertainment, all to raise money for this worthy cause. We invite you to help us attack cancer from all angles.
Event Details: Friday, September 27th at The Fort Worth Zoo, The Reserve
