Chris Stapleton to Headline 53rd Annual Cattle Baron's Ball in Dallas for Cancer Research
Chris Stapleton is scheduled to headline the 53rd annual Cattle Baron's Ball at Southfork Ranch in Dallas on October 17, 2026. This event is a significant fundraiser for cancer research through the American Cancer Society. The Cattle Baron's Ball, which originated in Dallas in 1974, is the largest of over 28 such events held across 11 U.S. states. Over its 52-year history, the Dallas event alone has raised more than $111 million for cancer research. The 2026 event, themed 'Soar Higher,' will feature a VIP party, live and silent auctions, raffle items, a sports lounge, a glam room, and a poker room, culminating in Stapleton's performance. The paddle raise this year will honor The Fitzgibbons Family, who lost Colin Fitzgibbons to colon cancer at age 46.
