Help Preserve Our Hill Country Environment! Join us for our third annual fundraising dinner and auction—this year at the historic Knibbe Ranch in Spring Branch, one of the few remaining Century Heritage ranches in Texas. The evening is dedicated to raising funds for the continued legal fight against the proposed Vulcan quarry and bringing awareness to the negative impacts of poorly supervised aggregate mining and quarry operations in Texas.
Enjoy fabulous Texas BBQ, local libations, unique photo opportunities, music, dancing, and more! Silent and live auctions will top off the evening as we toast everything that we love about our one-of-a-kind Hill Country—all while supporting a great cause!
This event is sold out! Looking forward to seeing you on April 2!
All proceeds will support legal counsel and scientific experts needed for the ongoing battle against the proposed Vulcan quarry and TCEQ. Attire: bolos and boots (Hill Country dressy). Tickets are $125 per person (plus fees). $65 of each ticket is tax-deductible. This event is sold out.
