Sky Ranch friends and supporters recently saddled up for a VIP Sponsor Party at the Ford Center at the Star in Frisco to kick off the 10th Annual Cowboys and Cowboys Sky Ranch Gala presented by Centurion American.

Funds raised at the gala will benefit the Sky Ranch Scholarship Gift Program. This initiative supports military families and those in public service and also impacts children facing circumstances beyond their control to attend a life-changing week of Summer Camp. Sky Ranch offers a special session for inner-city children called TRU Camp and works with collaborative partners to identify campers, these partners include: West Dallas Community School, Reconciliation Outreach, HIS Bridgebuilders, InterFaith Housing Coalition, New Friends New Life, Angola Prison and Angel Tree Prison Ministry.
Last year, the gala raised more than $700,000 to provide scholarships for nearly 1,200 deserving kids to attend summer camp and to support the invaluable ministries at Sky Ranch.
The gala’s 10th anniversary will draw past celebrity honorees and other legendary cowboys from both the gridiron and the rodeo arena to commemorate this chic boots and bling soiree.
During the VIP sponsor party, guests learned that the 2017 Cowboys and Cowboys Sky Ranch Gala boasts a stellar lineup of Honorary Celebrity Chairs.
