Foster Village
We love to be a part of growth, especially when we see incredible potential in a necessary mission!
In 2019, we were honored to donate our services to help Foster Village strategically fundraise at their first gala. $150,000 was raised in the auction portion and the Village grew in so many ways. Foster Village comes alongside children and families in the welfare system and shows them that they are not alone by creating opportunities for the local community to be a "village" of support to these vulnerable.
Global Child Advocates
GCA is a team of dedicated child protection specialists whose mission is to strengthen the layers of protection around children to prevent abuse, trafficking, and exploitation.
We strengthen, equip, and empower vulnerable families to keep and provide for their children within a safe and stable environment.
We advocate locally and globally for every child who has lost their family to be raised in a safe and protective family rather than an institution.
We pursue a permanent family for every child with their biological parents, relatives, or adoptive families.
Jabcares Deep in the Heart
When the 4th of July floods hit the Texas Hill Country, Team Cowboy Auctioneer knew that we had to be a part of supporting those who lost everything.
By partnering with Josh Abbott, Taylor Abbott, and some of country music's most iconic stars, the team supported the development of an incredible event that raised more than $1.2 million for the families of the 27 girls lost at Camp Mystic, rebuilding efforts in Kerr County, and other flood relief efforts. Texas came together, stronger than ever.
Cornerstone Restoration
Cornerstone Restoration restores hope to the vulnerable in the community.
Through construction-based projects, their volunteers serve the physical & spiritual needs of the elderly, widows, single parents, children, veterans, disabled, and survivors of human trafficking or sexual exploitation …so that God’s love can be seen and experienced by all.
REK’s Applause for the Cause
When disaster strikes, Texas comes together.
After the July 4th floods in the Texas Hill Country, Robert Earl Keen and friends organized Applause for the Cause, a one-night-only benefit concert at Whitewater Amphitheater. The event raised critical funds for the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, helping families and communities recover from devastating floods. Cowboy Auctioneer was proud to support efforts that brought hope and relief to the region when it was needed most.
TEXSAR
When every second counts, Texans step up.
Texas Search and Rescue (TEXSAR) is a volunteer-driven organization that provides highly specialized search, rescue, and disaster management services across the state. From missing persons searches to flood and wildfire responses, TEXSAR members dedicate countless hours to protecting and saving lives, completely free of charge. Cowboy Auctioneer proudly supports TEXSAR’s mission, helping them stay ready to answer the call whenever Texans need them most.
Salado Education Foundation
Investing in the future, one student at a time.
