The Cattlemen’s Ball of Nebraska is a 501(c)(3) charity whose mission is to raise money for cancer research. Ninety percent of the profits benefit the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center in Omaha, with 10% donated back to local communities' health and wellness programs. The Cattlemen’s Ball has become one of the Midwest’s premier events, raising millions of dollars for cancer research. Held in a d
ifferent and unique location each year, the Cattlemen’s Ball gives host communities the opportunity to showcase their area of the state. Hundreds of volunteers, donors, patrons and friends come together for one unforgettable weekend in June when thousands of guests attend the Ball under the big top tents, beneath the stars. Some of country music’s great entertainers take the stage both nights, while guests enjoy fantastic food and drink, featuring premium Nebraska beef and locally produced craft beers, wine and spirits. You don’t have to be a rancher to attend the Cattlemen’s Ball, nor do you have to know how to dance. All that is required is a warm heart and generous spirit. There is something for everyone at the Ball - shopping, dining, entertainment, demonstrations, art, special activities and more - so make your plans early to attend! If you or someone you love has been affected by cancer, then the Cattlemen’s Ball is an event you don’t want to miss. We hope to see you at the next Ball – won’t you join us? We promise you, you’re going to have a great time! Thank you for your support, and we'll see you in June!
