Bandana Ball 2025: A Night of Hope and Unity for Central Texas Families

A Tradition of Compassion and Community

There's something uniquely powerful about a community coming together to support its most vulnerable members. This is the essence of the Bandana Ball, an annual fundraising gala hosted by the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Texas (RMHC CTX). Set to light up the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum on October 2, 2025, this event is not just a fundraiser; it's a beacon of hope for families facing the unthinkable.

The Heartbeat of the Mission

At its core, RMHC CTX is dedicated to creating a home-away-from-home for families with children undergoing medical treatment. Through Ronald McDonald Houses and Family Rooms, they provide a sanctuary near hospitals, allowing families to stay close in their darkest hours. This mission is a testament to the belief that no family should navigate a child's illness alone. It's about more than just a place to stay; it's about building a community of support, understanding, and love.

A Night to Remember

The Bandana Ball is more than just an event; it's an experience. With dining, dancing, and a live auction led by the vibrant Cowboy Auctioneer team, guests are immersed in an atmosphere of generosity and goodwill. This year marks the sixth collaboration with the Cowboy Auctioneer, whose spirited auctions have become a hallmark of the night. Behind the gavel is John Lucius, a Cowboy Ringman with a deeply personal connection to the cause, reminding us that the impact of RMHC CTX spans generations.

Joining Forces for the Greater Good

It's the synergy of passionate individuals and committed organizations that fuels the success of the Bandana Ball. This event stands as a shining example of what can be achieved when we come together for a common purpose. As we look forward to an evening filled with hope and solidarity, we're reminded of the power of community and the enduring strength of families in the face of adversity.
