About Our Event

The Western Social

September 25th • John Wayne Experience • Fort Worth Stockyards

Delicious Drinks. Great food. Fun games. Major impact.

This isn’t your typical gala. The Western Social is where the Western community comes together for one unforgettable night-no tables, no stuffy dinners. Instead, you’ll mix and mingle with rodeo athletes, partners, and friends while raising critical funds for the Western Sports Foundation.

Your ticket opens the door to an evening filled with:

  • Delicious food & libations that keep the night rolling

  • Fair-inspired games with a western twist

  • Time spent with the athletes & friends who make this community what it is

  • Opportunities to give back through the Silent Auction, raffles and more!

This is the main fundraiser for WSF in 2025, and space is limited. Secure your spot now and be part of the first-ever Western Social.

👉 Tickets are going fast-don’t miss it.

Event Attire Details

Your Western Style on Display

This is your chance to dress to impress, with a little Western flair. Think upscale meets rodeo: polished boots, statement denim, bold hats, and anything with Western Flair.

Your style is part of the experience, so show off your favorite Western fit! We’ll be celebrating the looks and the spirit of the night in the Boot Barn Photo Booth, because nothing says community like capturing the moments (and outfits!) that make this evening unforgettable.

And hey, don’t be surprised if your look steals the spotlight. Bragging rights encouraged.
