2021 CBB Golf Tournament Recap

Cattle Baron’s Ball (CBB) co-chairs Diana Hamilton and Heather Randall, along with tournament co-chairs Kristi Bare and Nancy Gopez, were joined by more than 124 golfers on Monday, May 3, at the 2021 CBB Golf Tournament, presented by Mary Kay and toldright. We are so excited to announce that the golf tournament raised over $268,000. Thank you to all sponsors and golfers. We couldn't have done it without you!

Held at the Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas, players arrived and received a fabulous favor bag and gourmet lunch boxes before getting in some practice swings. At the appointed time, attendees gathered around a statue of legendary golfer Byron Nelson for remarks and details on the day. The co-chairs extended their thanks to all sponsors and players and reminded everyone that all of the proceeds from the event supports the American Cancer Society, and specifically cancer research in North Texas. Since 1974, CBB has raised over $86 million for ACS. This year, ACS has given $37.25 million for research grants in Texas and in North Texas, they granted $11.5 million of which $3.7 million went to women-led research.

Tournament sponsors and donors were then recognized, followed by local celebrities who played in with top sponsors: former Dallas Stars player Marty Turco, former Dallas Stars player Brenden Morrow, The Ticket’s George Dunham, KLUV’s Jeff Miles, 96.3’s Mark “Hawkeye” Louis, ESPN’s Fran Fraschilla and Dallas Cowboy running back Ezekiel Elliott.

At 1:00 p.m. play began as golfers hit the TPC Course for the day, enjoying contest holes with prizes, including a 2021 Cadillac Escalade, courtesy of Sewell Automotive Companies, cocktails, food stations, giveaways and more. As the day came to an end, players and CBB members gathered for a post-tournament reception with live entertainment by The Ray Johnston Band. Once the scores were tallied, winning teams were announced with sponsor Mary Kay’s team coming in first.
