Cattlemen’s Ball – Ticket Sales Close May 1

Gage County – Ticket sales for the 2025 Cattlemen's Ball close May 1, and limited number remain!

Since the inaugural event in 1998, the Cattlemen’s Ball has raised more than $21 million to fund cancer research and support local health initiatives. On June 6 and 7, the Cattlemen’s Ball will be hosted on the farm of Terry and Beverly Acton, a half-mile east of South 94th and the B-Line Road, just east of Blue Springs, NE.

Guests of the Ball can stop by the Buffet Cancer Center Health & Wellness Tent—where the true purpose of the Nebraska Cattlemen's Ball comes to life! Explore the larger-than-life giant colon and lung inflatables, free ice-cold water, healthy snacks, and raffle drawings. Connect with researchers whose work has been funded by past Balls and take advantage of on-site metabolic screenings, cancer screenings, and genetic testing covering Lynch syndrome and BRCA genes—because your health is worth celebrating!

There will be a strong local representation at the Cattlemen’s Ball from organizations dedicated to serving the health needs of our community. Three local critical access hospitals will be represented at the Ball this year: Beatrice Community Hospital (BCH), Johnson County Hospital (JCH), and Jefferson Community Health & Life (JCHL). BCH will focus on breast cancer awareness, JCH is focusing on colon cancer awareness, and JCHL is focusing on lung cancer awareness. Beatrice YMCA & Clean Vibe will also be on-site to share information about their local cancer survivorship program and free healthy snacks teaching the importance of clean, healthy food choices for better living and overall health.
