A Texas charitable foundation

Giving back. Changing lives. Building stronger communities.

We fund care for children facing illness, support for kids with disabilities, and programs that keep young people, families and rural communities strong across Texas.

More than $1.25 million

Who we help

  • Children facing illness

    Help with treatment, travel and the costs families don't see coming.

  • Kids with disabilities

    Equipment, therapy and support for children and the families who care for them.

  • Young people

    Scholarships, youth programs and hands-on learning, from FFA to the classroom.

  • Rural & Western communities

    Backing the towns, ranch families and local causes that hold rural Texas together.

Our mission

We turn the success of the music into help for Texas children, families and the rural communities at the heart of the state.

Every program starts with a need we can see: a family facing hospital bills far from home, a child who needs equipment insurance won't cover, a small town working to keep its kids in school and in the arena. We partner with local people who know those needs best, and we share what your support makes possible.

When you get an opportunity like this to give back, it’s a big deal.
