THE REASON WE GATHER
Cowboy Up for Cortney’s Place.
We’re throwing a big night for a very good reason. Cortney’s Place is a local nonprofit providing inclusive, community-based day programs for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Learn about Cortney’s Place
THE NIGHT
A proper night out.
With a little cowboy spirit.
This is not a sit-down-and-watch kind of fundraiser. Eat well, learn a few steps, pick the prizes you actually want and stay for the band.
Get on the floor.
A line-dance instructor will lead the room from 5:30–6:30 PM. No experience required — that is rather the point.
Smoking Somethin BBQ.
Dinner is scheduled from 6:00–8:00 PM. Bev also shared a behind-the-scenes look at the BBQ crew.
See the BBQ teaserPick what you want.
Most raffle prizes will stand on their own instead of disappearing into large baskets. Drop tickets on the items you actually want, with a small number of live-auction items during the band break.
