La Vida Loca with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and The Stewpot.

Saturday night we were able to share the symphony not only with families we serve -- but also host some TicKids supporters. We had so much fun. I love every DSO outing -- but it's the first time I've seen the entire concert hall up and dancing! Kris Fanning

Pure magic at The Dallas Opera! Texas TicKids was honored to help two little ones, ages 5 and 2, experience a play at The Dallas Opera. It was a first-time experience filled with wonder, smiles, and excitement. Their caregivers shared just how much the children enjoyed the performance and how special the entire experience was for their family.

Moments like these spark imagination, create joy, and open doors to arts and culture at an early age. This is the heart of what we do—making unforgettable experiences accessible for children who might not otherwise have the opportunity.

So much joy, laughter, and first-time memories! 🏀💙 Texas TicKids was thrilled to help a group of kids from our charity partner, EdenSong Ministries, attend a Texas Legends basketball game. Eight kids ranging from just 18 months old to teenagers experienced the excitement of a live game—many for the very first time ever!

Their mom, Shatavia, shared: “Thank you for this opportunity. None of the kids have ever been to a basketball game. We had so much fun.” She also told us how the kids were full of smiles and laughter, enjoyed free popcorn, got to go down on the court, and even played in the game area. These are the kinds of moments that turn into lifelong memories—simple joys that mean everything to a family.

This is exactly why Texas TicKids exists: to create access to experiences that bring happiness, connection, and hope to kids who might not otherwise have the opportunity.

Texas TicKids was honored to help make it possible for a group of amazing young men from our partner organization, Hope Farms, to attend the 2025 Cotton Bowl game between The University of Texas at Austin and Ohio State at AT&T Stadium . For several of these boys, it was their very first time at “Jerry World” and their first experience seeing a game of this magnitude in person.

From future athletes and musicians to aspiring dentists and honor roll students, each of these young men carries powerful dreams and even stronger resilience. Experiences like this go far beyond football. They create inspiration, build confidence, and show these kids that their future is full of possibility.

Huge thanks to Hope Farms and their incredible leaders, like Mario Choice, who pour into these boys every single day and serve as true role models in their lives. And thank you to our generous ticket partners who help make moments like this possible.

This is the heart of Texas TicKids: creating access to unforgettable experiences that uplift, encourage, and empower youth across North Texas. Want to learn more about the impact we’re making in our community? Visit texastickids.org/about-page

Through our partnership with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and Little Hearts of Hope, a brave mom and her 9-year-old son experienced the magic of Elf together. After fighting cancer for two years, this single mom was able to step away from the challenges of daily life and simply be present with her little boy, laughing, smiling, and making memories that will last forever.

These are the moments that remind families they are seen, supported, and surrounded by a community that cares. A night at the symphony isn’t just a show—it’s hope, joy, and a chance to feel normal again, even if just for a few hours.

We’re honored to help create experiences like this for families across North Texas. To learn more about the impact Texas TicKids is making in our community, visit: texastickids.org/about-page

From “What is a symphony?” to “When can we go again?”

Earlier this month, the executive director of HOPE Farm, Inc.made a new choice.

Instead of requesting sporting tickets — which their boys usually love — he said, “Let’s take them to the symphony instead.”

Because of Texas TicKids, that became a new option.

Most of the boys didn’t know what they were walking into. One played trumpet in his school marching band and was excited; the others weren’t sure what to expect. But when the Dallas Symphony Pops began — and the organ opened with Phantom of the Opera — everything shifted.

Every one of them was engaged.

And now.... they’re asking when they get to go again.

This is what access does: it opens doors kids didn’t know existed — and changes what they ask for next.

We’re working to close out our first year strong and are almost halfway to our $10,000 year-end goal.

If you’re in a position to help, your support makes moments like this possible.

Help Close Our First Year Strong — and Open Doors for 2026

We’re proud to celebrate one of our incredible ticketing partners, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra . Through their generous ticket donations, DSO is opening the doors of the concert hall to youth across Dallas — giving kids the opportunity to experience live music, creativity, and culture in a way that can spark confidence, curiosity, and lifelong inspiration. For many young people, these moments are their first time experiencing a world-class performance, and the impact can be truly transformational.

At Texas TicKids, partnerships like this help ensure that the arts are accessible to all — not just a few. We’re grateful to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra for their commitment to equity, inclusion, and meaningful community impact.
