Taste of the Cowboys - Another Successful Tailgate Party for a Cause!

The North Texas Food Bank and the Dallas Cowboys hosted the Taste of the Cowboys, presented by Caliber Collision, at The Star in Frisco on Sunday, April 8th.

 

Taste of the Cowboys featured past and present Cowboys players – including Travis Frederick, Chad Hennings, and Preston Pearson, Bradie James - as well as live entertainment.

Guests enjoyed a night full of delicious food, silent and live auctions, and a wonderful chef demonstration.

All proceeds from the event benefited NTFB’s Child Programs, which help provide food access to the one in four children in North Texas who are food insecure.
