A Stockyards community event. Proceeds from raffles and silent auctions support peer programs for veterans and first responders.
From Exchange Avenue To Your Front Porch
Bring the family down to the Stockyards. Stay all afternoon. Every handshake, every story, every round on the patio at Hell's Half Acre builds the community we need to make sure no one fights alone.
Live Music
Texas country and local artists on the Stockyards stage.
Silent Auction
Bid on items donated by Stockyards merchants and ranches.
Raffles
Win prizes and back the cause at the same time.
Guest Speakers
Veterans, first responders, and neighbors sharing real stories.
The Charities We Ride For
Raffles and silent auction proceeds go directly to the organizations below, working every day to make sure no veteran fights alone.
Regiment
You served. Now let's game together. 100% free for Active Duty, Veterans, Reservists, and their families, connecting Service Members through gaming, competition, and community.
Your Left Right Left
A veteran-led nonprofit turning trails, parks, and your neighborhood into missions that build purpose, camaraderie, and wellness. Nobody's making you do this — that's the whole point.
Don’t Fk’n
Go Anywhere.
We’re circling the wagons in the Yards to make sure we don’t lose another soul to suicide. None of us are perfect, but we won’t go down without a fight. Let’s spend a day reminding everyone they have a family.
Stronger Together. Never Fight Alone.
Our Mission
Make the Fort Worth Stockyards a community where everyone, from veterans and first responders to neighbors and visitors, looks out for each other.
Why We Gather
Some wounds you can't see. We come together on Exchange Avenue to talk, to listen, and to make sure no one carries the weight alone.
Stockyards Strong
This district was built on grit and people showing up for one another. We're keeping that tradition alive.
It's Okay To Not Be Okay
Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Out here, we ride together.
