The 5th Annual Cowboys & Cowboys Sky Ranch Gala Committee is "saddling up" for one of the most exciting and entertaining chic Western events in North Texas. The group recently met at the Park Cities home of Mary Ann Denton to help finalize plans for the western chic affair set for Saturday, Feb. 25, 2012 at the fabulous downtown Fairmont Dallas Hotel.

The gala committee, chaired by Mary Denton Meier and her team of volunteers and Sky Ranch supporters, is hard at work for what promises to be an incredible evening of wonderful dining and entertainment, along with exciting live and silent auctions.

The Cowboys & Cowboys Sky Ranch Gala is one of Dallas' premier social functions to raise support and awareness for Sky Ranch's outreach initiatives, including its Summer Camps, Retreat Center and Outdoor Education programs. Sky Ranch has been serving youth and families for more than 55 years. Last year, Sky Ranch served nearly 60,000 people, primarily youth, through one of the many programs in East Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado. This core ministry offers a multi-year curriculum designed to develop lifelong character leadership for youngsters ages 6 to 18.

The gala committee invites guests to join NFL Dallas Cowboys Legends and National Rodeo Champion, along with a host of other cowboy celebrities from the football field and the rodeo arena for the annual gala. It's the "must-attend" chic Western event for anyone who loves kids, rodeo, football, and Sky Ranch!

Individual tickets go on sale early Jan. 2012. For more information, visit CowboysAndCowboys.com or call (469) 484-4840.
