Cowboy boots and Stetson hats were on full display at the Cowford Ball Sept. 21, as more than 350 attendees kicked up their heels at Deerwood Castle to benefit the American Cancer Society.
The evening began with a VIP reception at the Jacksonville Sports Car Museum, followed by dinner, live and silent auctions and even a chance to ride a mechanical bull. Live music was provided by The Band Be Easy.
Modeled after the American Cancer Society’s nationwide Cattle Baron’s Ball, the Cowford Ball takes its name from the moniker given to the downtown spot where cattle and horses would cross the St. Johns River. Since its inception, the event has raised more than $10 million for cancer research.
