North Texas Food Bank is returning with annual fundraiser Taste! At The Star, formerly called Taste of the Cowboys, on June 13 at the Ford Center.
The fundraiser features gourmet tastings from top local restaurants, live entertainment and auctions, all benefiting North Texas Food Bank’s fight against hunger.
“The North Texas Food Bank’s mission is one we’re proud to stand behind,” Dallas Cowboys CFO Tom Walker said. Childhood hunger is a crisis we can solve—together. Taste! At The Star is more than a night of incredible food and entertainment; it’s a powerful opportunity to support programs that provide real hope to thousands of kids across North Texas.”
According to a press release, Texas leads the nation in hunger, with 1 in 5 children being food insecure in the 12 counties served by NTFB.
“Our mission is clear—no child should ever go hungry,” President and CEO of the North Texas Food Bank Trisha Cunningham. “Funds raised through last year’s Taste event provided access to more than 1.6 million meals to families in need through partnerships with schools, pantries, and community programs. While food insecurity is harmful to everyone, its effects can be particularly devastating for children. Every ticket purchased makes a critical difference to children facing hunger in North Texas.”
This year, Taste! At The Star is presented by Tyson Foods.
“At Tyson Foods, we believe that every child deserves access to nutritious food so they can thrive in and out of the classroom,” said Kristina Lambert, executive vice president of strategic initiatives at Tyson Foods. “Supporting the North Texas Food Bank and their Nourish the Future programs reflects our deep commitment to addressing childhood hunger in the communities where we live and work. We are honored to serve as the presenting sponsor of Taste! At The Star and to stand alongside NTFB in the fight to ensure no child goes hungry.”
Tables ($1,750+) and individual tickets ($200+) are available for purchase now online. Participating restaurants have not yet been announced.
