On an exceptional spring evening in Texas, Chip and Mardi Ferrier’s XO Ranch in Aubrey provided the perfect setting for the third annual Silver Dollar Ball on May 1 presented by Lattimore Materials Company. Longhorns and horses grazed in the scenic pastures as over 700 guests attended the gala benefitting the American Cancer Society. Veteran news anchor and event emcee Brendan Higgins kicked off the evening’s festivities by encouraging guests to partake in the gala’s food and fun while reminding them of Silver Dollar Ball’s mission – to raise funds to help in the fight against cancer. Mission accomplished – the gala raised over $250,000. Former NFL tight end and honorary chairperson Dan Campbell helped out by encouraging guests to bid on extraordinary live auction items, including a private concert for 100 featuring country star Jack Ingram.
