Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation
Everything’s bigger in Texas, and the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation is making sure its fifth annual TEX Gala is no exception. Set for Thursday, April 3, at Globe Life Field, this year’s fundraising extravaganza promises an unforgettable evening packed with baseball, bourbon, and a boot-stomping performance from a country superstar.
Since its inception in 2021, the TEX Gala has raised an impressive $8.275 million in support of the Rangers Foundation’s mission to uplift children, servicemen and women, first responders, and their families across North Texas and beyond. Last year alone, the event pulled in $2.8 million—and with the lineup of auction items and entertainment on tap for 2025, the bar is set even higher.
Guests will kick off the night with a VIP Reception, presented by American Airlines, inside the American Lounge at field level. By 6 p.m., the rest of the evening’s attendees will make their way into Globe Life Field for the TEX Gala Cocktail Hour, presented by Coca-Cola. The main event? A sit-down dinner and a private concert from multi-Platinum hitmaker Thomas Rhett, whose high-energy anthems will keep the crowd buzzing long after the last note fades.
But the gala isn’t just about music and mingling. Throughout the evening, attendees can take part in a range of activities, from gaming tables and a speakeasy (courtesy of Choctaw Casinos & Resorts) to a top-tier boot-shining station presented by Justin Boots. And for those who prefer their entertainment with a little kick, Spec’s Wines, Spirits, & Finer Foods is bringing back its signature booze choose experience.
Of course, no TEX Gala would be complete without its legendary live and silent auctions. This year’s lineup of one-of-a-kind packages is enough to make any Rangers fan—or general thrill-seeker—take notice. Up for grabs:
- A trip to New York City to watch the Rangers square off against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium.
- A VIP Rangers experience at Globe Life Field, featuring on-field access to pre-game batting practice and a suite.
- A Las Vegas getaway that includes an exclusive dinner with Pappy Van Winkle and tickets to see Kenny Chesney at the Sphere.
- The chance to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at a select Rangers home game.
With all proceeds benefiting the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation, every winning bid goes toward making a difference in the lives of North Texans in need.
Tables and individual seats for the 2025 TEX Gala are still available, and for those eager to mix and mingle with Rangers players, coaches, and staff—all while supporting a great cause—this is one ticket worth snagging.
